I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this but here goes.

I own a freehold house along with circa 130 others in a 2 year old development however there is a communal garden maintenance service fee so there is a residents management company set up with the developer...

Surely the sales office and car park is in the ownership of the developer? Check at the Land Registry. You can't enforce what they do with their own land should they choose to leave it empty. Sounds from your description that it maybe a 'ransom strip'.

Splitting detached house into 2 residencies

keentobuild

Hi all,

My father-in-law is currently considering splitting his house into 2 flats, either to rent one to help with income during retirement or sell to release capital from his property.

He is sadly suffering with Alzheimer's disease and doesn't really know the implications...

Getting planning consent alone could take 4 months + depending on how effective your council is and how accepting of such a development they are. I'd start there before you let him pick up a sledge hammer.

Planning rules for canopies - help please

vmart

We want to install a patio canopy above a patio door leading to our garden. We have been looking at different options including verandas. To clarify the structure will only have a roof (glass as we believe polycarbonate roofs create too much noise when it rains) and posts to support it. We've discarded...

As I said, most Gov. sites leant towards private houses, and it was not a gov. site.
Information is scarce on leasehold flats. So best to do as post number 6 - - "check with council"...

By a canopy, I was envisaging just a small one over the door, but think you want to cover almost all the patio ?
Your development rights as a leaseholder is limited to walls, fences and gates. Anything else you will not be allowed to do. but once you ask the question, from your address, then...

Hi Ram

Thank you. Could you explain a bit more about the freestanding structure - I am not quite clear what you mean by a detachable cover. If secured to the brickwork, would it be considered temporary?

Thank you again.

I think that a canopy, open on two sides, may be acceptable.

But if its just a roof sort of canopy, just to keep the rain off you while fumbling for your keys, just fit it.
