Split title deed, sold as two separate deeds - perm dev rule

[Freddy2004]

Thoughts on the following would be helpful please

Mr W owns a 100year old house in large plot that has never been developed in any way. Mr W splits plot in half and gets planning permission for a new build on one half. Mr W sells existing 100year old house and its share of the original plot. So now there are two properties, two title deeds and two separate owners.

Has the original 100year old house now lost its permitted development rights because these have been 'used up' by the new house that has been built or does the original house have its permitted development rights in tact....

The reason for my question is that we would like to buy the original 100year old house and build a two storey extension within the permitted development parameters - we don't want to buy a house that we would have to apply for planning permission in order to build an extension that would normally be allowed within permitted development!

Grateful for your help!

Check the status of the house on the planning register. When planners allow planning permissions they are responsible for removing PD rights (on the original and new development) if they think it's appropriate to do so. If PD rights have been removed it will be shown on the planning register. If not then PD rights remain.

Thank you very much for your reply John - you pointed me in the right direction.

Spoke to the council this morning and had confirmation the PD are still in tact for the property.
