    Hi All,

    My partners planning permission is up since may and we must reapply. The house on the plans has not been started as mortgage could not be obtained BUT he has built the garage on the plans and put in the electricity, sewrage and water. The women from the council said she will have to visit this site to see if she will give renewal only thing is he converted the garage to a mini home until house is built with no retention. Will he loose the planning permission for this when the lady sees it?

    Would anyone have any advice on this ?

    Regards

    I think you've kind of answered your question yourself -- he has built something for which he has no planning permission.

    First of all the planner will not be on a witch hunt, but s/he are bound by the Planning and Development Act. A number of factors will come into play, whether the 'garage' has been constructed as it was granted planning permission and merely converted for temporary living use or if the building was constructed as a living unit from the start.

    Whichever is the case it is still an unauthorised development and this has to be regulariesd, but if it is a case of the building was constructed as a living unit from the start this shows an intent to breach the Planning Act and will be taken more seriously.

    The fact that sewage electricity and water are in place is a plus, provided the sewage treatment has been installed as it was proposed.

    I believe he can make a very good case for getting a new planning permission on the site but remember the planner will not grant planning permission on any site which has an unauthorised development on it.
