    Planning approval is one thing. Anyone can pay the application fee and tick the boxes which inform the council that they either own the property or have informed the owner of the property (even if they haven’t).

    You’ve just reminded me of a story from years ago about a bloke who, as a joke, when his mate was abroad on an extended holiday, put in a planning application to turn the friend’s house into a pub. Hilarious … until the neighbours got notices from the council about the intended change of use and went collectively ballistic.
