    Hi,

    I hope someone can help with this query. I am in the midst of purchasing a property on a old ghost estate that is being redeveloped. The property itself is being built from scratch and it is currently up to roof level and the wall plates are on. However the planning extension for the development is expiring in 3 weeks and I know the builder is resubmitting the planning application as phase 2 of the project has been announced, but is still hasn't gone in as yet. However my problem is that I am worried that work will be stopped on the house I am buying because of the expiry and that seems to be the issue my mortgage provider is raising.

    Can someone please let me know if work can continue on this house after the expiry? The house is at substantial completion. I have emailed a query to the planner with regards to this but have not heard back as yet and I fairly anxious.

    Thanks.
    Ena.

    I would consider walk plate level to be substantially complete so my opinion would be that it is in compliance with its planning for commencement and completion. Obviously check what other conditions are attached to the dwelling.

    In answer to your question, no, the relevant person will need to apply for permission to retain works completed to date per planning ref. no. xxxx and permission to finish off, works are not permitted when no planning permission is in place, which the mortgage provider has correctly pointed out. Make sure that the communal stuff that you rely on but have no control over such as, access, footpaths, public lighting, surface water attenuation, sewer system, public open space, water connection, and then outside of planning, electricity, broadband, and any other utility are in or are at minimum committed to be put in. Query with the local authority what issues remain outstanding, if any, with the housing estate, and compare that answer to the one the estate agent or whoever gives. Good luck.

    That's me told then.
    I should read all the thread, I thought it was a one off build.

    This ^^

    Just on a house (alone, disregarding taking in charge stuff), I would always consider being complete for the purposes of the permission as having roof finished and windows/doors in.

    The communal stuff are in place as the immediate surrounding houses to my property is completed and people have moved in to some of these houses. I wasn't aware about the possibility of applying for the permission to retain works completed to date and permission to finish off. Always something new to learn ��
