Planning amnesty

Any changes will need the approval of all owners ..for sure as you would be changing the share %

@Toon Thank you for your message.

It has been very challenging to find information about this topic. I feel like nobody really knows what is the law.

The process of getting approval from owners is complicated ...I looked into something similar when I wanted to fit PV panels  and was told each owner including co owners had to approve and it needed copy deeds too to prove the ownership of those owners approvals

Not the same as property changes but just an idea as to what may need to be done... best advise to give you is speak to the on site committee if there is one and to the municipality planning dept....

Thank you so much for your help Toon.

In my case I plan to extend a house that is part of a development with several houses (like the big projects from Aristo, Leptos and other developers).

I know that I need the approval of other owners to extend the house, but I read from an article online that with this Amnesty law, you don't need the approval of the other co-owners of the development, hence my question.

Great comments Toon.  My situation is a little different as I own my land 100% and my house is built on 3 floors but sorry to say, I need to close my upstairs and downstairs to be able to live on one floor and so need to extend my ground floor to make a new bedroom over an existing veranda then add a bathroom on the same floor.  Would you suggest I go to talk with the town planning or a lawyer?

Interesting ...however a question for you as the upper floors still exist does it impact on the allowable building % when you extend the ground floor to live on one level.

I would say take a lawyer with you to the planning dept.

Thanks Toon.  I think I am OK for coverage as I have 90%.

Now, I need to find a good lawyer...........

When you find one let us know
