I have recently had to pay our local council £88.00 for covenant consent, which will allow me to build a conservatory. My house used to be a council house before a property developer bought the whole street, refurbished the houses and then sold them privately. That was 1991. The council have told me I dont need full planning permission but I will need this covenant consent. Can anyone tell me exactly what this is please ?

Because its an ex Council property, it probably had a restrictive convenant on it preventing alterations in the way of extensions.
It is a totaly different thing to Planning Permission.

a covenant is like a rule book for your house of what you can and cant do. covenant consent means you have to get the consent to make changes to that covenant..
