Welcome to Property on Fire!
Ian has some updates on some sites! A Lakeside Property in cornwall he’s had to wait 2 YEARS to close a deal on is finally starting to become accessible to him and at another site in Devon there have been some problems getting funding from the bank, so he’s turned to outsourced investors!
HMO owners rejoice! Some good news has been thrown your way, Ian has some news that’ll make you jump for joy!
As always, Ian’s had many questions land on his desk, even more than usual this week! This week on Property on Fire, he answers one for Roger about which kind of use class a campsite would be, one for Mark, who’s planning to convert an old barn into a site for residential use in the future and one for Mary, while most people wouldn’t even know what a C3B dwelling is, Mary asks whether she needs further planning to create one!

ABOUT THE HOST
Ian Walmsley is a third-generation experienced developer who loves Planning. Referred to as a ‘Walking Encyclopaedia’ by a mentor he developed a passion for planning in 2015 having got fed up with inaccurate information on some websites as to what was possible with property or land that he was looking to develop.
In 2017 he set up the site ‘Planning Geek‘ as a way to inform others as to the possibilities of using permitted development rights on both domestic and commercial property. This has now grown to cover many other aspects of planning, giving plenty of ‘wow’ moments. To the best of our knowledge, It is now the largest planning website in the UK, apart from the national planning portal.
He now speaks around the UK at both property meets and with mentorship groups as a developer/planning geek.
As a developer with his company, Leading Homes, he has 40 dwellings under construction with a further 50 plus in legals or pre-construction.
The one thing he is not is a Planning Consultant – he is a Planning Geek – although a chartered town planner said ‘Ian knows more about planning than most planners!’. He is simply ‘A developer who loves planning’. As a result he has nothing to sell from his talks, which is always a refreshing change!
