When I bought my self build plot, it had outline permission, and my
solicitor and I went through the attached conditions, albeit briefly.
I was pleased to note that one of them was less onerous than it was
when it appeared in an earlier approval.
Now I've applied for approval of reserved matters I am being asked to
fulfill a costly requirement I didn't expect, as it wasn't mentioned
in the conditions attached to the current approval, and goes beyond
even that in the earlier approval.
I've found the the Officer's Report and a consultation document on
the planning portal, and these both mention the unexpected
requirement. The Officer's Report presents it as if it is intended as
an 'Informative', to be attached to the final Decision Notice.
However, for whatever reason, it didn't make it onto the notice in any
form. The condition to which it relates is consequently simple and undemanding.
I'm wondering if the council can insist on this, or if the
requirement is unenforceable
