property4u   10 #25 Posted March 20, 2017 What for deliberatly not informing council you are doing building work i dont think so  Yes, that's exactly what it's for.....and I know of a planning officer who has recently done that before selling their house......who needs an architect or to follow the rules.....no one seems bothered :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone   10 #27 Posted March 20, 2017 An example of the terms (and coverage) of a policy  http://www.gcs-title.co.uk/instant-issue/policies-glance/planning-permission/  It covers very specific things, changes, extensions. Not the entire building existing without PP and an enforcement order for it to be removed already existing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Margarita Ma   10 #28 Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Yes, I'm afraid so.  How is the work affecting your property poppet2. Has the work breached the party wall, or is there something else that is concerning you?  People on here using the word snitch is very childish and bullying behaviour.

Cyclone   10 #31 Posted March 22, 2017 Snitch is a pejorative term aimed at stopping people from reporting crimes or criticising people who do report them. (Crimes or breaches of things like planning law). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mafya   248 #32 Posted March 22, 2017 Snitch is a pejorative term aimed at stopping people from reporting crimes or criticising people who do report them. (Crimes or breaches of things like planning law).  It wasn't meant in a pejorative way, I asked poppet why she wanted to know about this situation and wether it was because her property was damaged or if she wanted to * ( insert acceptable word ) * on her neighbour.

Has the work breached the party wall, or is there something else that is concerning you? People on here using the word snitch is very childish and bullying behaviour.  A build up of damp has now occurred on the party wall.   My bold= No it isn't childish or bullying seeing as I'm the one who used the word so keep your insults to yourself.  Mafya, what would you do in my situation? There is a lot of retrospective planning that people seem to rely on these days, but is that a guarantee people will get it? It seems an easy way out.

Margarita Ma   10 #35 Posted March 22, 2017 (edited)  My bold= No it isn't childish or bullying seeing as I'm the one who used the word so keep your insults to yourself.  Snitch is an insult to someone who blows the whistle on another person or group that they believe is doing something wrong. Generally something that can be or is harmful to themselves or others.  More than you has used the word. You need to work on smoothing that chip off your shoulder.  Without doubt if I believed the work is affecting my property I would get on to planning and building regs. He may not have needed planning permission as there was no extension involved but Building regs. should have been involved to make sure the work was carried out to acceptable specs and to make sure The sort of problem you are experiencing did not happen. For instance the inspector may have ensured a tray was inserted at an appropriate place in the damp proofing course.

But on the contrary, we have planning laws for good reason and they are only enforceable if the council are made aware of breaches of them.
