It depends on interpretation, from what I understand. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 18/11/2013 07:17:03 PM

(Obviously Tim's much better at this than I am.)

And because of that element of interpretation, we'd need legal advice to go any further than a letter, if it came to that.

According to our title deeds (and hers are the same), the flats can only be used for residential purposes and not for business. So the question is whether holiday letting counts as residential or not. What's also unclear is whether she'd need to apply for a change of use permit for turning it from a home to a holiday let. The previous owner lived there.

She also needs to get permission from all flat owners to make the change she wants to make for the door, and though she's applied for planning permission she hasn't contacted the factor or any of us about doing that.

Don't they need to apply for planning permission to do that? Aviendha - 15/11/2013 10:10:35 PM 953 Views
Also doesn't she need to apply for change of use to holiday let from residential? Aviendha - 15/11/2013 10:12:59 PM 904 Views
For the door, yes. For the holiday let, I don't think so. Rebekah - 16/11/2013 09:58:30 AM 901 Views
Hm. Tricky, that. Legolas - 15/11/2013 10:38:57 PM 979 Views

If there is anything you can do to fight it, do so Wibble - 16/11/2013 01:25:28 AM 993 Views
Yes. Rebekah - 16/11/2013 10:03:03 AM 941 Views
The most reasonable thing would be to cut a bitch. LiterateDog - 16/11/2013 02:47:42 AM 1006 Views
this sounds fully reasonable, yeah. temeraire - 16/11/2013 03:22:46 AM 1009 Views
Quite. Rebekah - 16/11/2013 10:06:43 AM 852 Views

Perhaps I don't grasp the gravity of the situation. Palatine - 16/11/2013 03:52:15 PM 921 Views
It's more irritating that grave, but I do worry about security to an extent. Rebekah - 16/11/2013 07:47:02 PM 832 Views

do you let your child play unsupervised now? random thoughts - 16/11/2013 06:46:08 PM 836 Views
Not precisely. Rebekah - 16/11/2013 08:01:54 PM 786 Views
Uh...isn't the nature of ownership that you can do what you want to with your property? Tom - 16/11/2013 10:27:05 PM 785 Views
Not always, according to what title deeds and zoning restrictions say. *NM* Rebekah - 16/11/2013 10:32:20 PM 397 Views
Well, then you do some research before you start a shit storm with your neighbors. *NM* Tom - 18/11/2013 03:42:43 PM 414 Views
Which obviously we have done, Tim being who he is and all. *NM* Rebekah - 18/11/2013 04:49:45 PM 427 Views
Well, so what is the neighbor doing wrong? *NM* Tom - 18/11/2013 05:50:25 PM 434 Views

How is a short-term holiday rental not a business? LiterateDog - 19/11/2013 06:01:50 PM 934 Views
For zoning purposes it's being used as a residence. Don't be daft. Tom - 20/11/2013 02:24:54 PM 828 Views
It's not being used as a residence. No-one is living there. Rebekah - 20/11/2013 04:26:05 PM 880 Views
The essence of the question was "Would you think it worth the bother to seek an injunction?" Tim - 19/11/2013 07:01:30 PM 1019 Views
I am a fan of British English usually, but not in the case of "flat". And yes, I'd go for interdict Tom - 20/11/2013 02:27:19 PM 826 Views
Another lovely piece of Language peculiar to Scots Law... majander - 27/11/2013 04:34:23 PM 955 Views
Though I always thought interdict was the Pope excommunicating an entire nation. *NM* Tom - 20/11/2013 02:30:23 PM 440 Views
Yes, but subject to limitations. Tim - 19/11/2013 07:03:40 PM 1147 Views
Yes, restrictive covenants. And those things can be unreasonable and still legal. Tom - 20/11/2013 02:29:45 PM 836 Views
I would get the garden monitored with a camera Sports_Gambler - 17/11/2013 04:00:51 AM 854 Views
Not a possiblity. *NM* Rebekah - 18/11/2013 07:17:35 PM 493 Views
I can't see much you can do really... Sports_Gambler - 19/11/2013 03:01:40 AM 880 Views
Does the building have a factor? majander - 19/11/2013 11:38:43 AM 824 Views
Yes indeed. Rebekah - 19/11/2013 07:13:06 PM 802 Views
