Planning/Permitted Development - how do I know if this is part of my garden or not?

[kit279]

Having some problems with my planning application for stables as planners have said that it will likely get refused, despite having said it would get approved originally (grr). However, the planned site is at the end of my garden and looking at the Land Registry documents from when I bought the houses, it looks like the site was actually part of the original garden and is likely still classified as domestic.

In 1976:-

In 1986:-

This would mean that the proposed stables would come under permitted development and I could put them where I want.

Can anyone tell me how I can find out what the planning use classification is for this bit of land? Do I contact the Land Registry or the local council who are handling my current application?

I don't know but am just bumping this for you.

um.... um.... didn't you buy the house quite recently? did you use mark (solicitor) in the end? if so... ring him and ask. he'll happily answer questions like that. or point you in the right direction. x

contact your local planing department and they might be able to advise you.
What ever you do dont just put it up they can and will make you take it down if they think it should not be there.

clipclopop - genius! Yes, I did use Mark and I think we actually had a conversation about it at the time of exchanging. Will give him a buzz, thank you

As someone has said - ask your solicitor. I work in a solicitors office, we're always getting asked to check plans etc. for things like this.

Hi my OH is an architect and he says you need to look at the planners plan rather than the one you have here and it will show what the site is classed as. You may be able to see this on the local planners website.

Had a similar problem in a previous house but regarding a large shed. we wanted to put it in what was clearly the garden (fenced as such and had been for previous 12 years or so)

Planner turned up, inspected site and left by the time I spotted him just outside the door (in all about 5 mins). The whole case rested on his view (he said it wasn't curtilage) despite maps showing otherwise. We moved house shortly sfterwards otherwise would have appealed.

Get yourself a surveyor to negotiate with the planners and get you the planning permission you need. They speek the same language and will know the best way to go about it.

As far as I remember, poor OP has already had the doubtful pleasure of dealing with a planning consultant... I don't think it went according to plan, lets just say that he might not want to use one ever again I'll leave him to explain that, though.
