I went to a large well known building company which is involved in the design and construction of luxury homes.

I have entered into an HIA building contract for a modular home to be designed and constructed by the supplier. The house was to be built on an estate which has certain covenants governing the type of construction allowed there. The manufacturer, supplier and the builder are one and the same and they have indicated at all times they would be able to obtain all the necessary consents allowing my home to be built there. Despite this council has served me with a notice indicating that as I do not have the relevant consents I am not at liberty to proceed with construction. What can I do and can you help me?
