PLANNING HISTORY

In 2011 a Planning consent was granted in respect of the property (Planning Application Ref:11/01443/FUL).

This consent was, in part, implemented with the addition of the ensuite to the master bedroom for which a Completion Certificate was issued in 2012. The plans can be viewed on the Plymouth City Council website using the planning reference above. It is therefore likely that the Planning Permission is extant. However, we would always suggest that any prospective purchaser should check with their Legal Representative or a relevantly qualified Planning Consultant to the voracity of the above statement. Alternatively, you can ask PCC directly to provide their thoughts in relation to this matter and we understand that they can do this subject to the payment of a fee.
