TomTom1982 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Hi everyone This is my first post but hopefully not my last I am looking to understand what the term "for the lifetime of the development" means in respect to planning permission. I have what was previously a retail unit behind my home which was granted planning for extended opening with the stipulation that the first floor windows must remain obscured to at least level 3 for the lifetime of the development. Today there is a notice for change of use to residential..what I am looking to understand is does that obscured glass stipulation in planning carry forward to this new use? thanks for your help.

Mr Punter Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Yes, it should do but make sure you let the planners know that any change to this planning condition would cause an unacceptable loss of amenity to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh is this possible to fight? I had thought as they where moving from retail to residential it wasn't possible to argue against it as it was effectively permitted development? They have however applied for planning for some bits like adding a pitched roof and changing window sizes which I do believe I can argue about.
