Jusy a quick question guys.

If the first dwelling in a row of houses has been constructed 10mt from where planning permission was granted & retention is sought & granted just for that single unit. Does it follow that all susequent dwellings along the road would also be auauthorised developments as they too would be constructed 10mt out of position.

Not necessarily. If each house was 10m wide and each matched the position of an authorised house, there shouldn't be a problem. There may of course be an issue for the house at the other end of the row.

Of course, the person who built them should apply for retention just in case. It may affect sale / resale values. Getting good planning and legal advice might be very important.

You have to ask yourself "What else went wrong?".

There is an instrument called an enforcement notice which can be employed, but its best utilised under instruction from a solicitor, engineer or architect.
