Planning permission asking the developers permission
We are in the process of selling our house and I need to find/produce the building and planning permission document. Shouldn't be a problem.
In our title deeds it stats that on top of the normal planning permission with also need to get permission from our original developers Ward. The last address I have for them is dated 1979 and I can't imagine that the people we bought from ever asked permission from them. Loads of our neighbours and road have done the same extension type and none of them have ever asked for permission from wards, but it does say it in the deeds so legaly our buyers are correct.
I am annoyed because our original solicitor should have picked this up and followed it up prior to our purchase. If they didn't do I have any come back?
Has anyone else been in a similar situation or have any knowledge of this subject?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Don't make a fuss over nothing very much. Simply click here and enter the name of your developer. If it cannot be found then the developer has gone out of business and no longer exists so retrospective permission cannot be obtained which your solicitor can confirm and formally notify your purchasers solicitor accordingly and that ends the matter. If your developer is found, write (yourself rather than the solicitor as you should get a better deal) saying that you aware of the oversight by the previous owners and you wish now to regularise the position for your own peace of mind. Permission should be granted for not more than �100, I have settled a lot of these for �50.
