Provided you start the development and get it signed off by the LA the time limits for the planning consent fall away.
There may be conditions as well within your planning consent that stipulate a period for when, from commencement, the development must be completed by.
The local billing authority may then, if you delay development, serve a notice on you giving a time period when they consider the development to have completed by and start charging council tax from that date, regardless of the physical state of the building. As far as I know, there is no set criteria from when a new build property is deemed habitable which would stop them from doing this. This was introduced to prevent builders leaving developments as a shell until a sale had been secured and avoiding council tax.
You may also encounter problems by stretching development over a long period of time, keeping up with building regulations, as when it comes to sign off, what you may have undertaken in line with BR, could be outdated and require changes before sign off will be given. |
