Probably better if you talk to your solicitor rather than directly to the seller. If your seller doesn't have the docs then either of the solicitors can get them from the council.

They finally finished building the property in 2017 - but the planning permission it was built under may very well date from 2012/2013.

The planning documentation should be available from the local authority.

Yes, if you tell your solicitor that you're cool with that information not being insisted on, he should be happy to let it slide... but remember he also acts for your mortgage lender. If they aren't happy, then you aren't exchanging.

Thank you so much for your replies, its strange he has done all his searches and come up with these question i would agree that this should of come up in the searches i will see what he says once they come back, 
with regards to the fact he acts on behalf of the lender is not the case that he just reports back the answer not what he asked im not sure hence why im asking

Unless the mortgage lender has appointed a separate solicitor (very unusual) who is duplicating everything your solicitor is doing, then yes, he acts for the lender. That means he checks that everything complies with the lender's requirements, advises them if necessary, and takes their instructions regarding whether or not to Exchange.
