What will happen to someone who owns a house, builds a garage yet doesnt ask planning permission?

Is there a law for people who dont seek permission?


Will it effect thier deeds when they come to move in the future?


If the garage is poorly built, who will be liable, the council, the owners or the builder?





Dont worry this is not me, but for plane curiousity.What will happen to someone who owns a house, builds a garage yet doesnt ask planning permission?
If they dont seek permission and they get caught, they can ask for restrospective planning permission. If it is not granted they will be made to dismantle it.


If they want to move in the future the solicitors acting for the purchaser will find out that it doesnt have planning permission through their searches and the buyer will probably not buy it, or will ask them to try and get planning permission etc.


If the garage is poorly built the owners will be liable, but they will probably be able to hold the builders liable.





If it is has been built for over 5 years, and the Council has not noticed it, then it is legal.What will happen to someone who owns a house, builds a garage yet doesnt ask planning permission?
Pull it down you did not get planing permission.
Oh, hanging is the offence for that.
You have to apply for retrospective planning permission. If that's not successful - then you have to take it down - as your own cost.





Chances are - it wouldn't be an issue until you came to sell your house and the house didn't match the deeds. Then you would be liable to take down the extension at your own cost.
they could be asked to take the garage down.





yes it would affect the sale if there is no permission - you can insist permission is gained before completion. the owners would be responsible for the condition of the garage
if you live in a conservation area or have a listed building it would have to come down.............you would be unable to sell the house untill it was removed...........this is in Scotland
Im going through this problem now..





If they come to sell and planning permition is not sent to your solicitor they will advise you not to buy.. The vendors have to apply if it is refused the garage will have to be knocked down.
Above are correct. Best if a person contacts the Zoning Commission or whoever handles this in your area. But, as you can see your question was in Error. Whoever this is do not own their house. They have only bought the rights to lease (Property Taxes) the house from the City/State. I wanted to bring this misconception into focus. Many Americans think they own their house when in reality it is not true! You can not make changes to their property without their written consent.
After a varying amount of time depending on local construction codes the garage can be grandfathered in and become legal.





If the garage is built not in accordance with building and property codes, it will have to be corrected or torn down upon the sale of the premise or when building authorities notice it.





The builder is responsible for the proper construction but not for your refusal to get a permit or for where you tell him to put it.
hi,


all i know is that the building that has been put up without planning permission will have to be torn down again...at the request of the council...
nothing bad will happen if they catch it...they will just tell you to TAKE IT DOWN!!!





go though the building process the proper was with licenced workers...its the best and only way IMO
you may be able to apply for retrospective planning permission. but it's not always granted, so you may be forced to take it down!
In Virginia, the local Zoning Board will issue a warning. Failure to comply results in a hearing. Further failure to comply results in fines and other penalties. Eventually liens can be placed on the property which are normally collected at time of sale. But the liens can also hamper trying to sell a house. If the fines are not paid, some jurisdictions can (and will) foreclose.
I think they will have to take it back down if it's not up to code.
