In regards to approvals of Change of Use from Office/Shops to Residential Flats, can U please clarify the duration of effectiveness of the approval. <br />For example if the decision was made on 29-04-2015, how long will this be effective since nothing is specified in the decision notice.

However, in this case I note that the LPA notified the applicants that prior approval was <i>not</i> required. This cannot be made subject to any condition imposed by the LPA, and I suspect that their intention was simply to draw attention to the condition that was at that time applied to this Class of PD by the GPDO. However, as I have confirmed above, this condition has been (or will on 25th May be) removed.<br /><br />No further application will be required. Interestingly, in amending this provision MHCLG have not substituted a condition requiring completion within 3 years of the prior approval date, as they have in some other cases.<br />Martin H Goodallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07079479984296674469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170718846507476773.post-72752627550469395352019-05-09T12:29:35.616+01:002019-05-09T12:29:35.616+01:00In relation to Part 1,Class A, could you clarify w...In relation to Part 1,Class A, could you clarify whether the omission of the time limit has the effect of removing the 30 May completion date for extant determinations? <br /><br />We have a number of clients whose decision notices (issued late 2018) determine that prior approval is not required but include a condition explicitly stating "The development shall be completed on or before 30th May 2019." Would we now have to re-apply or would the new Regulations override the condition? <br /><br />One client in this situation wishes to use the right to construct a "larger house extension" as a fall-back to justify alternative inappropriate development in the Green Belt. It is a remote dwelling with no near neighbours. Earlier this year, the LPA refused planning permission for the alternative development solely because it was considered unlikely the fall-back development could be completed before 30 May. In these circumstances, even if we do not re-apply, I presume the extension of the right together with the 2018 decision would provide a robust case in the context of the test relating to the lawful ability to undertake the fall-back development?<br /><br /> Jillplanconnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170718846507476773.post-28741817382693852672019-05-09T10:07:23.137+01:002019-05-09T10:07:23.137+01:00Thanks for bringing this to our attention - I look...Thanks for bringing this to our attention - I looked on MHCLG's website to see if there was anything about this earlier this week to no avail; In fact I can't even find anything about it there now !?!
