Building Plot FAQs
Should I ask if the land designated for residential development is in the local development plan?
One of the essential questions to ask about building plots is whether the land is designated for residential development in the local development plan. The local development plan, also known as the Development Plan Document (DPD), is a statutory document produced by the local planning authority. It sets out the details of the development plan for the area, including land designations and policies for different types of development. Knowing whether the land is designated for residential development will help determine its suitability for the proposed project and ensure compliance with relevant planning policies and regulations.
Should I ask if there are any development restrictions or planning conditions attached to the land?
It is crucial to know about any development restrictions or planning conditions attached to the land you are thinking of buying. This information will help determine the feasibility and suitability of the land for development. Additionally, understanding the planning conditions will ensure compliance with local regulations and avoid potential problems and extra expenses. It is advisable to seek the assistance of specialist solicitors who have expertise in planning law and can provide accurate guidance on development restrictions and planning conditions. Their knowledge and advice will contribute to a smooth and legally compliant process.
Should I ask if the land been previously developed, and if so, what was its previous use?
Knowing if the land has been previously developed and its previous use helps understand the history and condition of the land including environmental and contamination issues. This is vital in identifying any potential restrictions or considerations for future development. Conducting a thorough investigation may be necessary, including reviewing historical records, planning permissions, and any relevant documentation. Engaging the services of a specialist solicitor with expertise in land law and development can help navigate through the complexities and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and restrictions.
Should I ask if there are there any legal restrictions or covenants that may affect the development of the land?
Legal restrictions or covenants that may affect the development of the land should be considered before more significant expense is issued. Restrictive covenants may limit the use or development of the land.
Should I ask what the access arrangements to the plot are, and are there any rights of way or shared access issues?
Access to and from the plot for vehicles and services and any rights of way over it or shared access issues are of paramount importance. Understanding the property boundaries, potential restrictions on access, and any shared use agreements that may exist is equally crucial. By asking these questions, you can assess whether they align with your needs and intentions. Additionally, it is important to investigate any potential easements or unregistered rights of way that could affect the property. Engaging the services of a specialist solicitor with expertise in property law can help you conduct a thorough investigation and provide guidance on any access or shared access issues that may arise.
Should I ask if there are any potential environmental concerns or protected areas on or near the land?
It is crucial to inquire about environmental and contamination concerns or protected areas on or near the land. This information is important as it can impact the feasibility of development and compliance with environmental regulations.
