In our apartment building already been 4 renovations of veranda enclosures some with out council approval . The actual work is removing the existing veranda's sliding door about 1.7m in front so we can create a little sun room .There will be left a little area about .5 m of uncovered veranda.
Since the other owners did their renovations with out approval my the local council and only by the OC verbal approval can we do the some.Or if they persist to apply to the local council is this a discremination against me.

Unit owner,
I am a big believer in getting it right. Just because your fellow owners haven’t done the right thing previously doesn’t mean that you sholdn’t.
From my understanding of the situation, you should seek OC approval (via an ec meeting) to lodge a DA and also you should seek a special resolution at a general meeting for the addition to common property and also an exclusive use by-law.
This will best protect you should an issue arise in the future.
I have had a client that had created an additional room inside their unit, without the correct consents, council was made aware and issued them with orders to remove the additional walls. I understand that the owner may have been fined by Council also.
