Does a building permit application need neighbour consent?

Not routinely, but it genuinely can be relevant where your works affect a shared boundary, easement, or fall within specific setback and overshadowing rules that trigger a neighbour notification process.

Where consent or notification is genuinely required, your building surveyor or town planner will identify this as part of assessing your specific application, rather than it being a universal requirement for every permit.
