Tenant got planning permission for C2 usage without my knowledge?

Hello, I have been renting out my residential property to a charity. It appears they have recently been granted a planning permission change from C3 (dwelling house) to C2 (residential institution). I was not informed about this and the council approved without querying my consent.

I wonder what the implications of this will be when I come to sell. Presumably, I would need to apply for a reversion of status C3 but that could take months and I am not sure about paperwork or expenses. They did say they wanted to put in fire doors but would place back the original doors when vacating, but the context of this as part of a C2 application approval I wasn’t aware of till I saw the notice outside the house and looked it up on the council’s website.

What should I do to secure my position?

Thanks,

Nick

More likely some inexperienced minion got the job if filling out the planning application and didn't know the property wasn't theirs.

The Land Registry is nothing to do with planning permission. You won't find anything about pp applications or refusals there. You need to look on the local planning authority's website.

That does not excuse the charity.
