How far back does planning go?

    What is the situation with (estate) houses built say 50 years ago where most of them have had alterations done - side passage covered over, porches filled in, etc, at various times, and in many cases it is not known when or by whom the changes were made?

    Does retrospective planning have to be sought for these structures? None of them appear to be out of keeping with the estate but I have heard theories that they all have to be retrospectively given pp.

    I think 1st October 1964, could be wrong

    No need for retrospective planning providing rules are met.

    Depends, both of those items you described can be planning exempt.
    So if selling, the seller just provides a Cert of exemption from a professional with PI such as an architect, engineer, surveyor or technician.
