If I erect a professional wooden home on land we own, without planning, what is the time scale if/when the planners start jumping up and down, through retrospective and possibly appeal to possibly 'move it'?
thanks

Dont chance it.....rarely are retrospective cleared by planners. If the building is under 4.2metres it doesn't need PM. that's what I was told at an Appeal!
sorry, above not for a home just a log cabin.

er..thanks for your answer...but I don't understand what you said...could you try again :-)
Soon as home is completed the Planners will proceed removal with heavy fines. Homes cannot be erected without planning permission! If its green belt - less chance of PM.
The Planning Authority has 4 years in which to serve notice on you that the structure has no consent. After that, though it is still unlawful, the structure cannot be forced to be taken down.
The penalty is more likely to be an order to demolish than a fine - otherwise it would be far too easy to get away with it.

The above observation about '4.2 metres' is meaningless and a nonsense. It perhaps applied to one particular set of circumstances but is not a general rule - even if it was possible to work out what measurement is being referred to.
