Ok. Thanks Woody interesting to know. Another angle that a friend mentioned was to get information from the valuations office agency. Could I show them the building and get it rated? What would they require, evidence wise to rate this? And if it were rated by them, would that then stop...

Wanted to pose a question here that's a bit hypothetical. I am in the process of applying for planning permission to upgrade an old wooden building on our land. we want to install a new bathroom/kitchenette and use for holiday lets. Say that planning permission were to be denied for holiday...

Hmmm.... Submitted an e mail with many attachments such as a plan, long letter talking about how this has been used as a home, summerhouse etched, that it's had an article about preserving it in the local press, and recommendations for modernising from the local councillor. Forwarded onto...

Thanks for the latest comments. They've made me rethink my position. I had thought that just going ahead and chancing it would be the best route to take, but the frankly I have a good case and I'm just going to hope the planners listen to my particularly detailed proposal to them. I...

I here you both. As I listed in my update, new information surfaced regarding the continued use of the place up until we moved in and even since we have used it, but not for overnight. I thought that had I have had a knock on the door, all of the relevant new information would appease the...

Anybody?

Just to give an update to this thread.... I have been delving more into the history of the building and there is a news article in the local rag about it, that it was lived in and then used as a summer house...even the local councillor got involved as previous buyers of the main house were...

Thanks for this but I've investigated this, but because I'm not a 'purist' the help is not quite as forthcoming as you'd think. I'm not looking to put it back on tracks (like a railway enthusiast might be) but to make it functional which is very different to their aims..., If anybody is...

Very very kee to get an anwser to this please planning gods!

This is most interesting to know!!!! I am new to the property market and have no experience with planning departments and the like. Basically I have a shack in my garden which I intend to use for friends and family to stay in with the odd holiday let. I want to put a kitchen and...

Thanks to everybody who has kindly posted here. I will be starting the ball rolling tommorrow and have a couple of final questions that could help me greatly..

In your experience, if I were to apply for a lawful development certificate (as this seems the best start??). What would be the best information I should gather? If that fails- what other options do I have? Thanks

Is the above information the final word from the planning department? How would this apply to wooden doors in a timber framed building? Do they need insulation too? (Sorry if that sounds extremely thick I'm very new at this!)

True- but neighbours can remember a one armed World War One veteran living there....I even have his name.... Seriously though, what would I need do? Forgive for being thick but I'm still at a loss..... Do I approach the planning department with the information I have or fill something out...

By virtue of it having its own title deed, own electric meter etc, isn't that a fact they they can't contest??? What grounds could they tell me that I couldn't develop and use it???

....."but not holiday lets as that's commercial use, and would depend on whether the original planning conditions and use classes of the outbuilding or your main building allowed commercial use" i know that the shack was put up 90 years ago pre modern building regs and planning - does this...

Good evening. My partner and I purchased a property that has an old outbuilding on it. This has its own title deed that has been incorporated into the newer property (that we live in) title deed. It has not been lived in as far as we know for years. It is made of wood and needs a lot work...
