Nelson quietly reclassifies vehicles as buildings.

EDIT: Sorry for the false alarm. The Building Act 2004 already has this defintion. Nelson is simply adding the same definition to their plan. From my not-a-lawyer perspective, it seems that this is a benign change and there is no threat to people living in Tiny Houses.

Original Post:

Submissions close today at 4pm on Nelson's Plan Change 29. One new passage in Chapter 2 Meanings of words quietly redefines vehicles as buildings:

In the Residential, Inner City, Suburban Commercial and Industrial zones, a building includes a vehicle or motor vehicle (including a vehicle or motor vehicle as defined in section 2(1) of the Land Transport Act 1998) that is immovable and is occupied by people on a permanent or long term basis.
