I am currently the part owner of a property in the process of being sold in the UK.
Here is the situation: My co-owner and I have been asked by our purchaser for details on two planning decisions pre the Town and Country planning acts of 1990. The building we are selling is Grade II listed and was altered in 1983/4 and 1989 under Planning Department supervision. The council records (allegedly) show no record of Grade II listing approval for either alteration, despite a building inspector condemning part of the property at the time, although I am certain that the planning department did not give planning permission without Grade II listing approval as a condition of the relevant permissions. The council claims to have no record of Grade II listing approval for either granted permission.
In addition; the council, after first stating two weeks ago that they would issue a Lawful Development Certificate, have now backtracked and are insisting on a full Grade II listing permission application thirty years after the then planning department approved the property alterations.
