Hoping someone may be able to advise.
We had a loft conversion done on our property in 2012 believing it to be under permitted development.
In March 2014 we were visited by a planning enforcement officer who told us that due to the style of our property, it was considered a flat and not a house and therefore did not have PD rights.
We had further discussions with the council and put forward our case that it was a house, but they did not seem willing to listen
The last contact we had with them was back in May and we have heard nothing since.
I'm not keen to pursue them, but our lives are currently on hold as if they serve an enforcement notice for us to remove the conversion then it will have a huge financial impact to us.
Any thoughts from people as to what our next move should be.
Thanks in advance
