Retention planning query

    Hello one and all,
    Planning confuses me. If you get retention planning, do you have 12 years to answer to the co council planning from the date of the original planning or the date when the retention was granted? Just wondering as someone did something a little naughty a few days before the original planning was up, not the retention

    AFAIK if you apply for retention you have to have the property surveyed before retention is granted? Maybe someone else understands your question but I am not sure what exactly you are asking.

    Presumably the original planning expired before retention was applied for? Are you suggesting that work was done between the retention survey and the retention being granted?

    We just had to apply for retention of building done over 30 years ago - before we bought the house, in order to make it legal to sell.

    Retention is asking to keep Development that has already taken place.
    If they carry out unauthorised works, the timeline starts from the day they carry out those particular works and if it can be proved when it roughly when they were carried out.

    Just to add to this, the (7)/12 year rule only relates to possible enforcement from the LA. It is still UNAUTHROISED DEVELOPMENT unless retention permission is granted. Basically, if you do something naughty and don't get retention, you'll find it hard to sell your house unless all permissions are in place.
