When Applying For Planning Permission

[MartinMillar]

Do you have to declare that you own the property or have permission from all owners to apply for said permission?

[jackthehat]

You have to complete a Certificate declaring that you are either
A) the sole owner;
B) not the (sole) owner but giving the names and addresses of the (other) owners and showing proof that you have served them with the Notice that you intend to carry out works.
Your Local Authority will contact these people, too.

An appplicant doesn't have to be the owner, but he/she does need to notify the owner that an application is being submitted. Without that requirement, applicant could apply for and perhaps receive permission for something that would enhance the land or property value (e.g. redevelopment of a field by building luxury homes), and then offer the poor ignorant owner a pathetic price for his field.

Thanks is that the same in NI.
The reading I ask is that the house I live in and the shop next door is owned by 2 sisters.
Sister 1 and her husband had applied and received planning permission to level everything but sister 2 disagrees but this doesn’t seem to be taken into consideration

[bednobs]

sister 2 may have received notification (i did when mr b put our PP application in)

[MartinMillar]

Ok thanks bednobs were you asked in said letter if you agree?
Sister no2 says it’s broken down her relationship and she doesn’t agree

The granting of planning permission does not override other legal constraints. You can apply for permission to demolish and replace your neighbour's house, but that does not give you the right to go ahead.
If the non-applicant sister was actually a part owner, then this should have been stated by the applicant, and the applicant should have given notice to the sister. The non-owner would be entitled to object to the application on valid planning grounds, but she couldn't demand that permission be withheld simply because she didn't want it.

[MartinMillar]

Atheist thanks just surprise that permission can be given when 50% of the owner’s don’t want it

It is considered that the planning system should not be open to use by people trying to foil someone else via planning when there are existing property laws in place.
That's the way it is.
