Hi, infos on www seem very confusing to me, so I hope someone here might help:
We have a pre 1963-cottage on our land that (according to neighbours) hasn't been lived in for about 40 years. Can we simply renovate it or does it require a planning permission? We would like to re-plaster it and possibly replace the corrugated iron roof with natural slate tiles, of course also doing insulation etc. The house is on an L-road where only 3 neighbours pass. We are currently exempt from the LPT since it's non-habitable (after definition "habitable" for LPT). Electricity and water connection is there already. We would also like to add a 40m² extension (which does not require approval). We're just confused as to whether planning permission is required to turn it back into a residential building. In case that's important, it's a 1-bedroom cottage (2 rooms in total) with 2 chimneys, so it was definitely a dwelling a long time ago.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks.
