  • (b) that any building on the land has been erected in such a place in relation to any boundary, or to a height, so as to contravene the requirements of the territorial authority's district plan unless the contravention is authorised by the territorial authority:

  • (c) that any building or any other part of the whole development contravenes the requirements of the territorial authority's district plan in any other manner to such an extent that alterations are required that may affect the location or the boundaries of any unit or of any part of the common property shown on the plan unless the contravention is authorised by the territorial authority.
