MKA Planning has been successful in convincing Planning Service that an Article 40 Planning Agreement requiring the use of the holiday cottage as only letting  self catering tourist accommodation on the 2008 planning permission was incorrectly applied and is not actually in effect.

Planning permission had initially been granted for a holiday cottage on the site in 2001 with an Article 40 planning agreement attached restricting use to only let self catering tourist accommodation.

However, this permission was never implemented and the permission lapsed in 2005.

In 2008 a new planning application was granted for a holiday cottage on the application site.  Planning Service indicated on the permission that the original Article 40 planning agreement still applied to this new permission.

However,  MKA Planning were able to show that as the previous planning permission had lapsed and never been implemented the planning agreement had also lapsed and could not be resurrected for the new permission.

If your property is affected by a occupancy condition/planning agreement requiring either  holiday use or agricultural activity please contact  Matt or one of the MKA Team  to discuss the possibilities of getting the condition/agreement removed.
