Misleading Planning Permission
We have had many instances where our clients approach us where on the surface the planning permission looks sound however when you dig a little deeper it has revealed things that are pivotal to future development.
​
You need to know what rights are attached to the property in question and fully understand what is permitted and what is not. You never know what may crop up, especially if you have already solidified what plans you want to take out.
​
Wording is equally important, fully understanding the lingo used on Planning Permission is key!
A client approached me who was selling their property which involved two dwellings under a single title. One of the dwellings was a converted agricultural building and planning permission had been secured and implemented before my client acquired the property. My client had now decided to sell the property and on reviewing the planning permission for the converted barn something stood out as a reg flag.
Having reviewed the planning permission and other associated documents I advised that the two properties were not legally tied and therefore the converted barn which had it’s own associated domestic curtilage and parking area could potentially be sold and used independently of the other dwelling.
This situation therefore made a significant difference to the value of the property and how it was marketed as the situation was much more attractive than originally thought. tis wouldn't have been possible to know without the knowledge and research that a planning appraisal can bring.
