Hello all.
Please please help, if you can
This is to do with North East Lincs Council (they moved the green belt when they wanted to build)
Right, My mums been living on a small holding for over 30yrs and after splitting from her partner, last year, has moved back to the small holding full time. Instead of flitting between te two homes.
My mum and her partner own the small holding and rented a shooting lodge. They used the small holding to provide the game birds for the shooting rights.
They have owned the small holding for 30yrs and have paid council tax for all but one year (due to finances)
Due to the old caravan having more leaks than cover, we bought here a double unit, with an apex roof added within the month to home the hot water tank and so on.
Now the council, or should I say one person in particular, has put a complaint forward and now wants the lot pulling down.
The first problem he says we have is the fact that the roof is over 10ft.....
he says it has to be reduced down to this.
I then said that I would dig down and lower the overall hight......
NO No NO was his reply
He then said that it was not a double unit but a single residence...!!!
Anyway, the bloke seems to be trying his hardest to be a prick.....And he is good at it
Now they have told me that I may not have to do anything as te lot might have to come down..
Now I cant afford to throw money at the courts, let alone the time.
My mums 62 and getting prepared to rip the lot down and move out...
The land is registered as a small holding and animals have always been down here as well as a number of commercial incubators.
The caravan she had previously had a large conservatory built on its side for over 9yrs which was permanent.
I thought that you were not allowed anything permanent otherwise you could get full permission if not complained about after 5yrs...
Anyway, as you can see, any help required and always offered.
Cheers
Sy
