Hello,

I have a 1930s house with a separated two-story garage/out-building from the same period and have secured planning permission to turn the garage into a two-bedroom house.

My question is;

Can I split the land so it can have it's own title and get separate utilities to the garage so it can function as a stand alone home not connected to the main house.

Hello Roger - titles can be split in certain circumstances. See this thread for guidance

Adam,

I have this 'clause' in the planning decision/approval letter from 2021

"The granny annexe hereby permitted shall only be used for purposes incidental to the residential
use of ADDRESS for the accommodation of family members associated with the host
dwelling and shall not be used for any other purpose including short term lets, and shall not be
severed to form a separate/self-contained unit of residential accommodation. "

&

"Director (E&PP) Observations
I would not have any objection to the application as long as the granny annexe remains part of the main house.
Please include the following with any permission:"

Do you think that would prevent me from spliting it?
Regards,
Roger

Roger - not a Q HMLR can answer I'm afraid. It's a planning requirement so something to really discuss with a conveyancer/estate agent with regards what impact it might have re a sale/marketing the property.
