I purchased a flat in Feb 2010 - the building was completed in 2009.
9mths after I moved in received a notice that there wasn't planning permission for the balustrade/ handrail position so close to the parapet. This was fought by the developers unsuccessfully.
I was compensated for the error however the developers advised we should wait until the enforcement notice was received before they carried out the work to relocate the balustrade and planters. It was also advised that if enough time had passed (3 or 4 years can't remember which) we could apply for 'as built' or 'retrospective' certificate (unsure of the correct legal/planning term).
It is now 3 possibly 4 years since the building was signed-off by council.
What is the exact length of time that needs to pass in order to apply for 'As Built' ?
Now that I have received an Enforcement Notice can I apply for 'As Built'?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
