It can cover everything from alterations to to the creation of new units. Hi, my name is Ian Gracie and I have been in the planning industry for over 10 years. The 4 year rule is one that comes up a lot and more often than not when people get in touch needing advice on it - it’s too late. Hopefully this video will be the catalyst you need to get your house in order before you approach the Council. NEVER approach the local planning authority without first knowing the likely outcome. Shots in the dark is what gets people in hot water. 1) What is the 4 year rule - Permitted Development - The 4 Year Rule Explained The 4 year rule is an area of planning where people seek to demonstrate that residential alterations to a dwellinghouse are lawful on account of them being in place for a period of at least 4 years from the point of completion. Extensions, changes of use and alterations to houses can all be deemed lawful using the 4 year rule. Unfortunately it’s not just a case of showing a dated photo and you are away - there is a lot more to it than that. And it is very important that you make 100% sure of your position BEFORE you speak to the Council. If you are refused then you could be served with an enforcement notice and the only right of appeal is to the High Court which is not fun. The important thing you need to know when using the 4 year rule is that the onus is on YOU. You have to demonstrate all of the information to the local Council - not the other way around. So it is important that you cover every step necessary. Because if an officer finds anything to the contrary then your application could be refused. So what evidence do you need to prove that your works have been in place for more than 4 years. 2) Statutory Declarations - Permitted Development - The 4 Year Rule Explained A statutory declaration is a formal statement made affirming that something is true to the best knowledge of the person making the declaration. Usually signed in the presence of a solicitor. This is the first critical piece of evidence. This is essentially a statement from you, or anyone else who is relevant to the application, stating what you believe to be true which will then be backed up by the evidence you are submitting. 3) Completed plans and evidence of completion - Permitted Development - The 4 Year Rule Explained Showing clear plans are a requirement if you are looking to demonstrate extensions and alterations to your house - or even sub-division of floor plans if you are showing the sub-division of a house to new units. These will need to supported by evidence by the contractor or builder who built it for you. Everything from e-mails instructing the contractor, e-mails and evidence of start dates, photos of works as they are progressing and a certificate of completion from the contractor which is then backed up by more photos showing the completed development. 4) Utility bills and Council tax records - Permitted Development - The 4 Year Rule Explained These are usually used to demonstrate the creation of new dwellings and they are a really important piece of information - they are less useful for extensions. Council tax records in particular will be a dated piece of evidence (from another part of the Council) that will show when the new units were created. If this is backed up by utility bills that are addressed to the units in question - it is very compelling. 5) Tenancy records & voting registration - Permitted Development - The 4 Year Rule Explained Another critical piece of information - if Council tax records correspond to the tenancy records of the property then this is very strong. If the tenants then registered to vote each time which corresponds to each contract then very good. 6) Mortgage valuation reports - Permitted Development - The 4 Year Rule Explained If you have taken a mortgage out against the property then the valuation report will be important. Again, this will be dated and it will also set out what the property is. Important if you have sub-divided and added extensions which will be within the report. This can also be accompanied by floor plans.
