We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.
This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.
PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

That's useful to know but how do we know what is permitted use? The council website just seems to say that each COU is dealt with on a case by case basis.0 -

The obvious question, :#I don't think anyone's asked them yet. But it was sold last year and we don't know who owns it, we only know what we can glean from the builders on site.0 -

Do you mean any planning applications? Is it possible to find who owns land via the council portal or do we go to Land Registry?0 -
The council portal will (probably) tell you who the applicant is.benawhile said:

You can find out who owns it from the Land Registry. It will cost you £7 to download the Title if you are in England or Wales, not sure about Scotland or Northern Ireland.benawhile said:Hoenir said:

You will have to find out what is happening to the property first. Google gives plenty of links to planning use classes and what is permitted within each classbenawhile said:lincroft1710 said:You will have to wait until there is planning application for change of use.If there is a COU outside of the permitted usage of that class and no planning applied for then you can report the breach to the planning authority
