MY PD RIGHTS HAVE BEEN REMOVED

[AdamGore]

Yes. I have a copy of the letter from the enforcement officer when he attended
The site at the time. But no enforcement action has been taken as they want us to put an application in.
But if I was to put the application in and they refuse then the enforcement
Got the upper hand and issue with the enforcement notice.

Hi CJARD

Just wondering if you picked up my last message. Thanks

So, you either take the building down without a fight or you take the building down with a fight.
Simples.

The authority seems to have taken the stance that they're within time to enforce and hence think it's a 10-year-rule situation. If you want to argue it's the 4 year rule that should apply, because the outbuilding was built before the land changed use (and hence the new permitted use as a dwelling, with removed PD rights would not apply), then you might well be looking at a trip to court if the council doesn't back down on it
