albert Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I have some extremely unlucky circumstances and wanted to know if a planning application on my jointly owned property can be lodged with out my knowledge and or consent. I am expecting a variation of condition application and I am concerned it could go unnoticed or not require a planning notice . ( I do not want the condition varied as it will devalue the property) . Is there anything I can do to make sure I am made aware. Thanks in advance. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Are you still at the residence if so when it starts to go through you will get an another notice to display at the road side. you can also register an account with your planning council online so that for any matching postcode you get an alert. This may be different for different councils. other than that diarise that you manually check every week with the online planning of your council. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDamo Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 The applicant should sign Certificate B and serve notice on you. This is used where the applicant doesn’t own all the land the proposal relates to and knows the names of those other owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't live at the the property right now, is variation of a condition a full application requiring displaying of a sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDamo Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 A VoC application would usually involve neighbours being notified along with a site notice being put up. However, the Certificate B element would actually only apply on a Full Planning application. You could just object once you see the notice or are alerted via the Planning alert (as Susie mentioned). Otherwise, if you just check the website weekly, that’ll be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither do you need permission to start work, but may be made to demolish again. I suggest a letter to the planning officer, explaining the circumstances and requesting being advised at all stages. Sending by special delivery gets you proof of receipt, or hand the letter over to reception and get a receipt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct no need to own the land to apply for planning permission, and there is a process even if you don't know who owns the land, for publication in the local paper:- notice2.pdf (planningportal.co.uk) Correct again, you don't need planning permission to start [albeit at risk], hence the retrospective planning permission process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDamo Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 @saveasteading It has what? You cannot just apply for Planning on somebody else’s land without informing or notifying them. @Blooda Correct. You don’t need to “own” the land but you do need to service notice/notify those who do own it. The type of Certificate depends on the applicant knowing the names of the owners.

Galileo Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 "You don't actually need to own land to apply for planning permission for it. This means you can apply for permission before deciding whether or not to buy a piece of land." https://www.planningportal.co.uk/planning/planning-applications/how-to-apply/who-can-apply 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveasteading Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 OK, thanks We are all correct. Anyone can apply for planning permission. You have to inform the owner. The application proceeds whether or not they comment or approve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the agreement of the owner but I still had to serve the correct notice to him. Once PIP was granted we completed the purchase of the plot.
