Does anyone on here have knowledge of this subject ?
I have applied for planning concent to seperate part of my house to form a self contained one bed dwelling. No legal seperation is intended.
My 4 bed house will then become a 2 bed house and a seperate, small, 1 bed house.
No external changes are taking place and overal I am losing 1 bedroom.
The local planning officer has told me I will have to pay a section 106 developers contribution which will amount to 2-3k. This is likely to put the project beyond what I can afford.
Having read up, it appears that it is a contribution by developers to pay for the extra infrastructure needed by there development.
But in my case I think they are going a bit far. As I am going from 4 to 3 bedrooms and not building, just sub dividing, I am hardley going to create a need for extra infrastructure......... beaurocracy gone mad ?
Has anyone got experience of this that could be of help to me ?
thanks in advance, George
