Legal advise regarding fraud signature

SineadLala

Can anyone pleeeease help me. The story is sooo long so I'll try to stick to making it short (ish)
My stepfather handed over a site on his property to his niece to build a house (for FREE may I add!) based on the understanding that his surrounding sheds and hay barns needed to be accessed so 14 feet of said area will remain his.
According to anyone I've spoken to so far have said he should have signed off on the plans before she submitted them. Well she didn't show him, and to make things worse she's forged his signature!
She's now claiming the 14feet that they had a verbal agreement would remain his, she's also has broken through to the adjoining site to plant the sewerage and percolation system! The list of nightmares she's causing is endless I've only named a few!

What I'm asking is : What are the legal consequences of her forging his signature? And could a verbal agreement stand IF things got much nastier and ended up in court?

Thank you in advance

What exactly was signed?

The fact that the niece got PP does not entitle her to build where she is not entitled.

Whoops that info would be helpful alright sorry.
It was a letter sent to the council along with the plans and all the other documents needed for applying for the permission, the letter was to say that he has "given her permission to apply for planning on my site"
I know that he had given her the site so therefore he ovi was going to give her the go ahead for planning...
But between verbal agreements and some other agreements in terms of knocking walls and tearing down trees etc he NEVER would have 'signed off' on what her intended plans were.

As I said before the mere fact that PP is granted does not entitle anybody to build on another's property

If the step father does commence to build on another's property you should consult a solicitor about that, and also re the forged signature
