Hi
Does anyone know what the consequences of not submitting a commencement notice to the local authority before starting to build a new home. Have paid the "Service charge" the Local Authority for water, road etc.
would be very grateful for replies
thanks
We forgot to submit ours - and it was probably after the foundations were in and most of the walls built when we sent it in. It depends on the local council I suppose - but it had no effect on us (the house is built and we are in it a year now). It might be more relevant for larger developments?
none... just sent it now with the money (i think i was €25 or €35 in our case and we were 11 months late).
They are interested in
1- the fact that work will be carried out within 5 years (?) of permission, and your project seems to meet that
2- the moneeeeeyyyy....
