IMPLIED PLANNING PERMISSION: Physical operations and change of use

Abstract

Before 1948, a landowner could, in broad terms, do as he pleased with his land and buildings. Obviously where land was leased, the lessee could only act within the covenants contained in his lease or, where there were no covenants, within the bounds of the law of waste. Admittedly, even before 1948 there were such matters as building control and building regulations, but compared to the town and country planning regime, the limitations imposed by these were comparatively minor.
