PP for flats

Dec 08, 2007 8 Replies

Just had double glazing fitted to my Flat by a FENSA approved installer. My Local council tell me I need PP.


PP is required for all things todo with flats.


does this sound true.

Are you in a conservation area or is the building listed? Otherwise PP should not be required.

Unless there is a specific condition on the original PP for the flats

Very unlikely given that it is not in either. Where in the UK are you?

It's not required for a single house because it's permitted development. But for a flat it is IMO if the appearance of the building can be considered to have been altered.

In any case, the freeholder's consent will almost certainly be necessary.

Who is the freeholder? Is it the Council? If so you might need their permission but it is not planning permission.

Thanks for the replys,

The free hold is owned by the builders Wimpy.
