An old barn joined to the house was converted into accomodation about 4 years ago. It has an upstairs bedroom a bathroom and a living room, plus one more room. It doesn't have a kitchen. It is in use, now and again, for guests.
I'm investigating what is required into turning this into a holiday let and its viability. I pretty much know what I have to do building-wise but it's all the other stuff that I need to clarify and I'm not keen at this stage to ask 'planning' or the council tax bods.
I've been told that a granny annexe is easier to get by the planners but that this definition falls short of a standalone holiday let. What defines a granny annexe?
Presumably council tax would be payable and if so would this be on the Business tariff ? Would council tax on the main house drop a band? What fire regs if any would I be required to conform to. Insurance implications?
A lot of questions and I'm hoping someone out there can throw me a few pointers.
