There is huge confusion in the whole area of planning. We had witnesses at a previous meeting tell us the data the local authority had on record when the house was first built could be used for the change of use but that was totally inaccurate. It was a fresh planning application. We need to get the message out to local authorities that the confusion being created is having a huge impact on people trying to get their house in order as they are being requested. That is an area we definitely need to home in on.
