Planning Advice
Almost every water-based leisure property will require planning permission to some extent, whether a fishery, sailing club, holiday accommodation or water sports venue. We are on hand to offer advice if planning is required for change of use, new buildings, dwellings and construction or excavation of water.
Often we find that retrospective planning issues can be resolved. However, if the lack of planning permission does not come to light until a property sale is in the hands of solicitors, a vendor can lose their buyer or face pressure to accept a price reduction. This is where our advice can be invaluable, we are experts in this area and happy to help offer development and planning advice.
Where businesses have established themselves or grown organically, in some cases planning permission has been obtained lawfully or planning permission may not have been applied for. Fenn Wright have been involved in preparing planning documentation for a variety of developments, including:
- Residential dwellings
- New dwellings
- Holiday accommodation
- Caravan sites
- Facilities buildings
- Excavation of a lake or fishery
Fenn Wright are actively involved in advising and assisting clients with planning applications either as the lead agent or in regard to new dwellings, preparing Dwelling House Appraisals. Over the years we have collated a large number of planning permissions relating to all aspects of fisheries and associated leisure properties and are well placed to advise owners in this specialist area.
