The building is larger than your house, and you want to rent it out. How can that possibly be an annexe?
Anyway the answer is 10 years, but when the day comes you will need to provide evidence its been used as such for those 10 years. But quite honestly I would be surprised if you make it 10 months without anybody noticing.0 -
Why is it 10 years can you expand ? It’s not a change of use?0

If someone has continuously broken a planning condition in their use of a property over a 10 year period, they may apply for a Certificate of Lawful Development. (CLEUD.)royjones321 wrote: »Why is it 10 years can you expand ? It’s not a change of use?
If granted, a CLEUD, allows the existing use to continue, and it's transferable to a new owner.
Some breaches of planning conditions are much easier to hide or go under the radar with than others!0 -
Oh right . Also why would the 4 year rule not apply here then? As it’s a building being converted to dwelling? Also what’s the different between lawful development and lawful use. The building is legal and been there over 40 years0

It is a change of use. The building does not currently have planning permission for use as either a standalone dwelling or as an annex to the main house.
The term "lawful development" is used when a breach of planning conditions/law is deemed to be no longer a breach.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0 -
This is what I found online ;
Legislation states that where a breach of planning control results in the change of use of a building to a dwelling then the four-year rule applies, instead of the 10-year rule
Does this mean it’s not 10 years ??????0 -
Anyone else feel like they're banging their head against a brick wall?
Have you already done this? Is that why you keep asking and refusing to talk to a professional?Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
