- Does the title deed contain conditions that conflict with the proposed second dwellings & home-use guidance?
- Are there servitudes, building lines or earlier approvals on the property that affect the plan?
Checks before appointment
Check the actual scheme definition, title, prior approvals, parking, coverage, access and estate rules. Do not assume every second dwelling requires consent or rezoning.
What the planner does
Identify the lawful starting point and any linked application; coordinate with the building designer once rights are confirmed. Building-plan approval and services remain separate.
