Out of curiosity, a friend of mine checked her council's online planning map service to see where her house was. She found that the map (copyright OSI) had the site marked in red in a different area than her house was built back in 1993. Its a country area and the site was gifted from her father. Looking at the map. the house is split in two by the site boundary. Her brother inherited the farm when her dad died and he has now built on a site which they both thought was adjacent to her site. Nothing was said when he applied for and got planning permission.
Is this a major problem or can the matter be resolved by transferring land between them to rectify situation? I presume it would cause problems down the line if the house ever had to be sold?
