I find the following in the Internet can you comment on it “No statutory definition of a dwelling house existed, but Gravesham Borough Council v Secretary of State for the Environment (1982) 47 P&CR 142, provided the most commonly used description - that of a building affording the facilities...

Can you expand a little bit and explain which difference in the Town and Country Planning Act and in the Council Tax regulation will mean that if the council tax dept believes a house to be non-habitable, that does not make it not a house for the purposes of Planning Legislation

A property has its council tax band deleted because it has failed the ‘hereditament test’ because it is not habitable anymore so it is not considered anymore as a dwelling. The issue is whether a property which is not anymore a dwelling can have permitted development rights

Can you explain why you say no

This property has changed several times from houses to block of flats and vice versa. The issue is what it was when work inside destroyed all and the issue is here if a property was considered as used as single house could still be considered as a single dwelling house when noone could live in...

I would like to know if a property which does not have council tax band because it is not habitable could have permitted development rights

Do you think that a block of 10 flats or maybe 100 flats will become a single dwelling house only because we have evicted all the tenants except one. There is also the issue of what the word 'amalgamate' means when we says amalgamate a block of flats into a single dwelling house

I asked you again this question because it is a challenging question so an interesting one and you will further yourself by trying to reply to it You are all of you better than a consultant a lot more friendly and funny than a consultant could be

1. You have not replied to my query about the fact that houses and flats have the same ‘Use Class’ C dwellinghouses. I wondering if you and I have really understood about what we are talking 2. I have looked in the report from the planning department and it is stated in it that the decision...

You are quoting the old rules Now houses and flats are C3 and are separate from HMOs which are C4. It is why I sent my last post because I am confused

I found out that flats and houses all have the same ‘use classes’ “C3 dwellinghouse” in this case there should not be ‘change of use’ if a house is split into flats so why it is necessary to ask for planning permission to split a house into flats?

It is not only a question of time. I do not want to reveal too much if it is not absolutely necessary not to reveal the identities.

The issue is not whether or not I can force the planning department to do this or to do that. This issue is that I can use the complaint procedure of the Council and if my complaint is upheld the planning department can change its mind and take enforcement action to have this development...

It is in my interest to prove that the planning department has wrongly considered that this property was a single dwelling house and as a consequence it has wrongly granted development rights to this neighbour. For the reason is that in this circumstance it will be easier for me to force the...

It matters because a ‘proposed development’ means something should be developed i.e. something should be changed for example the removal of a kitchen or a bathroom. However a ‘proposed use’ mean that only the way the property is used has changed for example only the owner of this property will...

A lawful development certificate concerns a ‘proposed development’ and not a ‘proposed use’

In a lawful development certificate application it is requested an ‘existing floor plan’ and a ‘proposed floor plan’. If there is no internal alterations would this mean that the ‘existing floor plan’ would be the same as the ‘proposed floor plan’

It will be helpful if you tell me which law deal with this issue If it will not be necessary to remove any fixtures like bathroom and kitchen this will be too simplistic because this would mean that the owner of a block of flats would have only to evict all his tenants and say that only him...

I have not time now to reply about your query about regulation I will do this late However it remains that the issue of how can a unit be lost if nothing has been lost because no kitchens or bathrooms have been lost is very important
