Welcome to Property on Fire!
Ian has some updates on some sites around the UK – Ian’s bought some new land in the last couple of weeks and shares some details on that site, he’s also have to put a planning application in for another property… And so much more in this episode!
Ian’s Rant Returns – Today Ian discusses his hatred of fog lights. He travels up and down the UK for properties and cannot STAND when people are using their foglights when it’s NOT EVEN FOGGY! Turn off your fog lights if they’re not needed PLEASE.
Ian had many questions land at his desk as usual, so here he is to answer one! Wendy explains she needs to find out how to know whether a local planning authority is fine with flat conversions being done to a site in the local area, so she asks what kind of planning she needs when planning to buy a property in that area.
The British Gas Saga is BACK and it’s reaching a conclusion! – A story running for the last year NEARLY has an outcome… Ian still isn’t happy at all though.

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!
