Scottish home conservatory in jeopardy over planning permission issues
The importance of obtaining the relevant permission before fitting a conservatory has once again been highlighted with the case of a homeowner in Scotland.
As with growing numbers of Britons, a couple in Irvine had sought to both boost the value of their home and enjoy more living space by having a bespoke conservatory fitted.
However, according to a new report in the Irvine Herald, they not only failed to seek planning permission for their conservatory prior to the work being carried out, but they have subsequently failed to answer correspondence from the local council over the matter over the past few months.
"No reply has been received and the [planning] application has not been registered," a council spokesperson told the newspaper.
As such, with the council having now sent out their final warning letter, it looks as though the couple in question will soon see their dream conservatory torn down.
This comes as the Cut the VAT coalition fight to get the rate of VAT on home improvement projects, including the addition of conservatories, slashed to five per cent.
