Hello, welcome to the website. My name isXXXXX can assist you with this.
Do the title deeds to the property state that the premises is to be used as a single residential dwelling house only, or something like that?
Hello
Yes dwelling house only
Okay. Then this is something you should be able to rely on. The rights and restrictions contained in the title deeds, which you're referring to here, and very different things to planning law applications. Planning law issues are public law issues, and are where the owner seeks permission from the local authority to use the land for a particular purpose. Even if that permission is granted, you are still entitled to exercise any rights that you have as a matter of civil law to prevent the use of the neighbouring property for commercial purposes.
Yes single dwelling house only.
