If that is a response to my post above, I intended the words "Of course, it makes no difference who applies for the planning change" to be taken with a certain amount of cynicism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the planning change was applied for by: a) Howard Quayle, ex-Chief Minister b) A N Other would there be any difference in the planning application outcome?

Kopek Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 Can a farmyard be sold off as freehold or would it have to be, as multi units, be leasehold? Would the owner be prepared to sell freehold, how would the ground be divided? What right of way would have to be written in? Would they want to sell the the Family estate fore ever or retain a hold, altho long term, on that piece of land for the Family for posterity? Does the above problem affect the sale value? As previously 'Holiday' accommodation, are they mortgageable for permanent occupation? Of course, there are always those who would buy to rent out as an investment, maybe even those who have had past support from the Govt who may feel obliged to help poor old HQ out of his predicament??? I have no idea what is actually going on, just putting, or trying to, all sides of a complex problem of rumours and conspiracy theories that could or could not be true with regard the holder of a previously highly placed Govt official???

You will get a lot more money for it selling them off as residential after a planning change than you would selling it off as a holiday cottage business. There seems to be an assumption by some that this is a prelude to a sale. I have no idea but it would not surprise me if is was simply to enable them to give longer terms lets if they are not already allowed to do so. As others have said it appears that it his wife who runs the business and if she is not that well it would make sense to be able to let on a six month or annual basis and not have to go in every week and clean, provide bedding etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HQ will get whatever he wants whatever and whenever, due to who he was, the old school tie, friends in high places, the local lodge etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest it would get rubber stamped, rather like Covid support payments. Like a fan who goes weak at the knees when they meet a ‘famous’ person, a celebrity, our civil servants doff their caps at the great and good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bserver Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Surely it should be rejected as it jeopardises the 500,000 visitor number? If you've got tourist accommodation it's staying that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know the motivation, or the outcome. Who knows what is behind it? It is one thing to question motivation when someone is in public office, quite another once they are long gone and without knowing why. All for scrutiny, but really? We all know that HQ has had challenges over the past few months, who knows what the reason is? Does it actually matter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which will probably be 100% better with planning for residential. any where else he would be taxed on his planning gain ,especially if he used the system to obtain greater value for the land and property changing from Tourist related to full residential , and don't even mention the agricultural grants a nice little earner if you ask me , there is a smell about this !

Are you sure about tax on the gain? Normally it is a gain on a sale that is taxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
