Shade sails over 20 m², 3.6 m high, 2.5 m forward, or PVC over 10 m² need a building permit, which only a registered builder can provide. Installing without one is illegal. Residential projects usually don’t need planning permission, unless you're in a special overlay or affecting neighbours. Commercial/non-residential sails meeting the same size or material criteria need a building permit and usually planning permission. Licence: CB-L 25 196
