Re: Re: When can you carry out Exempted Dev?

Thanks for the replies.

I would not necessarly call it a loophole – technically the minute the house is complete, construction of an exempted devlelopment could commence – I am trying to find out when the exempted development can legitimately start, i.e. what is the definition of complete?

I would agree that it is not legitimate to construct the exempted development at the same time as the development granted.

If the planning authorities had an a real issue with this situation, they would insert a condition in the planning permission stating that no exempted development can be carried out without a prior garnt of planning permission (as they often do for houses granted permission on limited sites).
