Can anyone clarify a planning permission issue for me?
I am buying a second hand house which has had some alterations done to it. There is one small change which does not have planning permission, (and it definately should have it.) The sellers contend that as it is there over seven years, there is no problem. Our solicitor feels otherwise. Our solicitor says that the fact that it is there over seven years helps, but doesn't solve the problem. I haven't been able to grasp exactly what our solicitor think is still an issue - can anyone enlighten me?
