Planning permission

Martisha

I was wondering if council checks the houses deeds before granting permission?
for example someone is applying for garage conversion but in the house deeds this is not permitted.
will council check this before making decision or is it up to the owner to check?

Up to the owner.

It's got nothing to do with whether planning ought to be granted, so there's no reason for the council to check (even if it's the council who's the beneficiary of the covenant).
