Q: I have purchased a plot where previous owner had already applied for building plan approval, prior to date of sale. That building plan for approved months after the sale. Can I use this building plan to construct my house? Or do I need to re-apply one with me as the new owner?
Hi Sid, By law, any planning permission granted expires after a certain period. Generally, unless your permission says otherwise, you have 3 yrs from the date it is granted to begin the development. If you have not started work by then, you will probably need to reapply.
Yes, i am agree with Ramya. It may be possible for you to make minor changes as you proceed but you should check the position with the LPA first. Any significant variation would require a further planning application. If, following a grant of planning permission, you need to make minor amendments to the application; this can be achieved by submitting a non-material amendment application
