| 7. | Use of Dwelling Informative
The applicant should note that the application under consideration is in respect of a two storey side extension as described to a residential dwelling, and not for a new dwelling. Separate planning consent would be required for a new dwelling or any change of use to a House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO). |
| 8. | Land Ownership Informative
The applicant is advised that this planning permission does not give consent for any part of the development including guttering and fascias to encroach onto any land not within the applicant's ownership. |
| 9. | Party Wall Informative
This planning permission does not remove the need to obtain any separate consent of the owner of the adjoining property prior to commencing building works on, under, above or immediately adjacent to their property (e.g. foundations or guttering). The Party Wall Etc. Act 1996 contains requirements to serve notice on adjoining owners of property under certain circumstances, and a procedure exists for resolving disputes. This is a matter of civil law between the two parties, and the Local Planning Authority are not involved in such matters.
