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?
Latest Answer: 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.
