Local planning authorities have an unfortunate habit of removing a homeowner’s permitted development rights when they grant permission for houses and sometimes even when they are just approving run-of-the-mill extensions.
We are written before (see here) on why it is not usually considered reasonable for a council to use a planning condition to remove a homeowner’s permitted development rights.
Such conditions are only rarely justified, must be limited and targeted and must be site-specific.
In this case, we helped our client get his permitted development rights reinstated. We were delighted when our application to Kingston upon Thames Council was approved first time round!
If your property has lost its permitted development rights, contact us now for some advice!
