What Is A ‘Retrospective Planning Application’?
If building works start and planning permission is required and has not been obtained, retrospective planning permission will be required to regularise the development. A 'retrospective planning application' is simply an application that is submitted before permission is obtained.
An owner or developer should never rely on a retrospective planning permission application to get unauthorised development approved. Anyone doing this is taking a considerable risk and may face formal enforcement action
How Do I Apply For Residential Retrospective Planning Permission?
Councils enforcement officers will only encourage an owner or developer to make a retrospective application if they consider that they may be granted planning permission for the development. However, enforcement officers can only advise on this. The retrospective application will be dealt with by one of the planning officers in exactly the same way that they deal with any application for planning permission.
Retrospective Planning Permission Case Study 1
On the 20th of October 2008 after years of Vandalism, Robberies and Broken Windows, Mr and Mrs. Krykovitz decided to install steel shutters on all the ground floor shop windows. This immediately stopped their problems, so they thought. On Christmas day that year Mr. Krykovitz opened a letter from his local council requesting him to apply for Retrospective Planning Permission. He contacted Drawing and Planning Ltd. Who in 10 days submitted a retrospective planning application which was approved four weeks later. This cost Mr. Krykovitz £930 plus their local council’s fee’s and two cans of black paint as their council requested the shutters be painted black.
Retrospective Planning Permission Case Study 2
Mr and Mrs. Sinbad received a letter from their local council in January 2009 requesting them to make a retrospective planning application for the change of window to double doors opening up onto their downstairs neighbour’s roof top creating an unofficial roof terrace. After contacting Drawing and Planning, Jeremy went to visit Mr and Mrs. Sinbad to discuss their application. The application was prepared in 15 days and the application lodged. Thankfully their application was approved. Mr and Mrs. Sinbad paid Drawing and planning ltd. A total of £1150 before the application was lodged.
