- INFORMATIVE This building has been approved for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the the main house and must be used for this purpose only. The building is part of a single planning unit together with the main house. Using the building separately from the main house would amount to a material change of use that requires planning permission. For example a separate use could include use as a holiday let, business, or occupation as a self-contained house. If a material change of use takes place without planning permission the use will be unauthorised and at risk of formal action. If an enforcement notice needs to be issued it would be served on everyone with an interest in the land. This would include any mortgagee. In assessing whether to take further action we can consider whether intentional unauthorised development has taken place. If you have questions about how you can use the approved building please contact us.
