Twinkle11 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 We are currently looking into buying our dream piece of land but the house isn’t quiet what we want. It’s not listed but it looks like it should be, it’s a very old beamy house really well looked after and some would love it but not quiet what we want house wise. What are the chances of us being able to get planning to knock it down and get a new build? Even though it’s not listed. Thanks Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 You also need to check it is not locally listed or in a conservation area. You will need planning consent for the replacement before you demolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patp Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Depends on your Planning Authority I would have thought. Several people have done such a thing around here and told us that as long as it is your house you can do what you like with it. Then some of the very same people bought another old house, with land, got planning permission to build on the land but were told they could not knock down the old, frail, timber framed un listed house beside it. I am not sure if that was a definite "no" or just that they would rather they didn't knock it down. Only time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDamo Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 In securing Planning approval for a replacement dwelling should always be a little less stringent and straight forward than that for an additional dwelling. Even a replacement dwelling would still need to meet Local Plan policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilDamo Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Your Local Planning Authority would have that information, either online or by contacting them direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
