Retention planning for extension small cottage

    Hi all, I bought a small cottage a few years ago which already had an extension built at the back which left no back yard. I believe the rule states that the extension cannot leave behind less than 25 square metres of open space. This house never had that much outdoor space to begin with.

    I am hoping to sell the property but I'm worried that this will be an issue (like it was when I bought the house). Do you have any advice on what I should do to help the sale of my house? Should I apply for retention planning? I understand that nothing can be knocked down if it has stood for 7 years or more.

    Retention to regularize the extension will suffice.
    You will then have to get a Certificate of Compliance with the Retention Permission from a suitably qualified person.
