Vijay Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Utter madness!! Living in London all my life I've seen family homes turned into flats by adding loft conversions and extensions - great for the developer but shit for the people who have homes there. Then add the issue with parking and you get an area you all of a sudden hate living in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshine Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 So if i understand this right, if you have a bungalow, you can automatically turn in to a 2-storey house under PD? If that is the case, bungalows are going to become pretty sought after! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Davies Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Is there a better source than the Daily Mail? E.g., one worth clicking on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Initially this will only apply to existing blocks of flats. They plan a consultation on extending this to all detached houses. No doubt there will be a lot of restrictions if it ever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 So you hit them with an application to knock down and rebuild at the same time. Saving VAT as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
