1. It is important to get permitted development rights because with them no planning permission is necessary. For example if the owner of a property wants to insert windows with clear glasses at the rear of his property where there have never been any windows with clear glasses and he does not...

You have to understand what is at stake. If an applicant proves that his property is not anymore a block of flats and it is now a single dwelling house he gets permitted development rights. The planning department needs strong evidence before deciding that this property is now a single dwelling...

You have to make the difference between some hours work and some seconds it take to put back a panel into its hinges It is up the applicant to prove that his block of flats is not anymore a block of flats to do this he has to prove that he have done some permanent alterations So thousand...

1. Strangely according to what is stated in the report from the planning department it was the only physical alteration it took into account to decide that this house was used as a single dwelling house 2. The fact that the planning department has considered only a building regulation...

1. The issue is whether or not the panel of these two doors could have been officially removed and not whether or there has been a breach of planning law 2. Irrespectively of whether or not this property was a single dwelling house the planning department cannot claim that the panel of...

I think that building regulation is important in this case for the following reason: The planning department is wrong to consider that the panels of these two doors have been permanently removed because the building regulation department can take enforcement action at any time and forces this...

I complained to the planning department because my neighbour has allegedly transformed his property which was a block of flats into a single dwelling house only to get permitted development right. In the report of the planning department it is stated that the only alteration made to this...

‘freddymercurystwin’ promised me a copy of the Site Layout Planning for Daylight and Sunlight: a Guide to Good Practice’, published by the Building Research Establishment BRE. However I have not yet received it

I suppose that by law any living space should receive a minimum of natural light otherwise it could be bad for the health. So what is this law?

I prefer to be given a copy of it so that I do not need to go a library to read it. Moreover I will be able to read it on my own time Concerning paying £55 it is only to use it once I am not a professional surveyor. Moreover I do not need it myself because I am helping a friend

Can you please provide me a copy of this document

In case this planning permission is intended to be decided by a planning committee of councillors and the planning department has issued a report which recommends that this planning permission application is accepted and I would like to oppose it during the meeting with the planning committee of...

Not only building regulation departments take into account the issue of space and light but also planning departments because I found out that planning departments take into account the following document ‘Site Layout Planning for Daylight and Sunlight: a Guide to Good Practice’, published...

It is seems to me that it is the same in order to convert a basement where there is no bathroom. not kitchen ..etc into a flat it is necessary to build a flat i.e. to install a bathroom and a kitchen even if there could already be several rooms into this basement

Do you think that a planning department is going to grant planning permission to build a flat in a basement where there will no natural light and very little space??????? There should be other considerations that those you listed maybe building regulations ...etc

I am not a specialist of planning law but following my researches I found out that planning departments grant plannning permission to split houses into flats according to the living conditon of the future tenants of these flats for example is there enough space in these flats or enough light...

I have good reason to have this planning permission rejected but it will be too long to explain in detail However the problem is also that this basement is entirely underground and does not have its own windows so it has to rely to receive light on the windows in the ground floor i.e. another...

There is no law which says that I have to put my stuffs a certain distance from the boundaries of my land i.e. from a certain distance from this window which is very close of the ground.

To the question “Why should people here waste their time trying to convince you?” The reply is because I would like to be sure that I am right. Moreover an important characteristic of this window is that the owner of this basement has inserted it very near of the ground because this...

The purpose of my thread is that you convince me not to do it. I am still waiting......
