To quote the four year rule; "Four years for change of use of a building, or part of a building for use as a single dwelling house".
I'm trying to understand this rule...
If a building does not have planning permission, and it has been in use for over four years as a dwelling, does it fall inside the four year rule?
Or, does this situation fall within the ten year rule, because it never originally had planning permission?
Do designated areas create any exceptions to these time limits?
