Planning Retention and Its Link to Compliance

Planning retention applies to structures built without proper permissions. To avoid demolition or legal repercussions, property owners must apply for retrospective approval. As part of this process, an Opinion on Planning Compliance is often required to assess whether the development can be legalized. Authorities evaluate factors such as environmental impact, zoning laws, and community interests before granting retention approval. Proper documentation and expert evaluations improve the chances of securing permission?
