My legal rights

[grobdiver]

I was commissioned by a builder to get planning permission on a site he wanted to develop, we got permission granted but with conditions, two of the which would incurr the builder a cost of �30,000 for educational contributions etc. I suggested i try and get the conditions waived at a fee of 2% of the amount waived and unbelievably the council waived it all, a fee of �600 for me however In the time it took for me to get confirmation the plot was sold to someone else who has started building using the plans i produced

The original builder payed me for the drawings and planning work, but never paid me for the waiver as he had no interest in the site at that point, he has not been paid by the new builder for the original planning permission and drawings and has suggested i chase the other builder for the �600, and my planning work fee and also costs incurred to local authority.

Can anyone out there advise me on my copyright argument and my legal standing on how i should go about approaching the builder for reinbursment.

kind regards
