I have looked into a few care homes in my area. What I notice is that follow a pattern. The initial design is often just the start. They soon start adding extensions, out buildings, bin storage, and backup generators. Sometimes they build connected annexes on adjacent plots. The operators...

What difference does it make that the living/utility room was previously a garage. The owners may well claim the conversion was done by prior owners (plausible deniability). - it has sat there for at least 5 years and caveat emptor applies.

So there will be a gap between your wall and your neighbour's wall? Is there a need to access either wall to maintain fences or gutters in the gap? Or do you envisage putting a weather seal on the top of the walls? A little detailed as this stage - but your objective to have a single...

Do you own the verge? if not it will likely be council land - there is a process that will allow you to us a section for access. Is the road public or privately owned ? You should speak to the council planning team about a new drive way access - They should provide a chat free of charge and...

For it to fraudulent it needs to have been intentional, and there will normally be a benefit derived from the person completing the illegal activity. Until you can provide proof on intent (or evidece a benefit that is gained) you have to recognise that it could also be incompetence.

LDCs simply provide formal confirmation that something is "Permitted Development". There is no absolute mandate that says you must obtain an LDC. However, it is very wise to obtain an LDC for anything more then the simplest of PD projects. An LDC application is not "refused" as in your can't do...

Depends where the official boundary is located . This may not be where you (or myself) may see the physical fence/wall. Given that it is a new build the it appears that this is a new boundary is between two sub-plots, the developer can define the boundary where they like. The information on the...

Have you obtained the appeal decision document from 2000? This will state the key factors that were weighed in reaching the decision to dismiss the appeal. If you can show that those reasons are no longer applicable(, or significantly weakened) then your likelihood of success is improved.

Delberto, That is also how I read it. As with all aspects of covenants there are always complications. Where ingress roads are built or there are other community spaces then the developers may retain title of the shared spaces. The developers may then charge a fee to review any application...

Good point - I meant to say "in some very rare situations they may not be listed on the Land Registry"

Yes - usually (but in some very rare situations they may not be listed within the deeds) As the purchaser you need to be made aware of any covenants before you are committed to buy the property. You solicitor will likely do this by giving you a copy of the deeds. If for any reason you are no...

Thank you for the replies. To address as best I can No works to water mains in the area - that I am aware of The cold tank is a black plastic thing and it was full when I checked. It is a very large cold header tank with a 2nd tank coupled-in to increase the capacity (The tank can feed our 3...

Hi After many years of trouble-free use, and with no changes to the cold plumbing for many years, the cold water failed flow through our bathroom taps (basin an bath) or to fill our WCs twice in the past 2 weeks. I am dumbfounded by why the cold failed to flow and would appreciate any ideas. I...
