converting care home to apartments

solopine

looking to buy an old care home and convert to flats. Do you need planning or is it permitted development as both are residential? What about change of use?

Parchester

Hi, can anyone recommend a solicitor who can help challenge a land dispute with the council? My local council want to turn our private close into a residents parking permit zone, even though our deeds show that we each own the road outside each of our homes and we have paid for the upkeep for well...

Ting up the Law society and ask them to give you details to find a specialist land solicitor in this area of law.

The legal position is a bit of an oddity. What the council owns is a "determinable fee" in the road, that is the made-up part reckoned to be two spits (spade blades) deep. Without going into exactly what a determinable fee is, in practice it means that the highway authority has the equivalent...

Legal ownership does not determine whether a piece of land is a private road or a public highway. Accordingly looking at your title is no help.

As has been suggested, it is possible that your road is a public highway not maintainable at public expense. The highway authority's records will...

One other complication here is that the criterion for imposing parking restrictions is that the road is a (public) highway. That is even less than being adopted (maintained at public expense).

As an aside if it is a private road, why is a residents parking zone implemented by the council needed at all? Surely if some residents claim they need designated parking, you can simply put up a "boom" barrier on the road entrance with a fob and keep everyone else out.
