Granny flat/ Annexe planning

[Sam4847]

Hi does anyone know if I can rent a previously used  granny Annexe that comes under as ancillary use in the planning paper work. I know I am not allowed to rent this out to a tenant as in a permanent let. I

am hoping I could let it under the status of a lodger ie short term holiday let’s.

I have searched Google and there is responses saying yes/no.

would I need to get a change of used for holidays let’s ?

@Sam4847  Local laws vary. This question does not have a general answer- it would be specific to your area and you haven't even said where you are located.

@Sam4847 I would just do it and beg forgiveness if the council complains. If there is access to you house then it could come under the 'rent a room' scheme even if you lock the access door.

If  it is a separate dwelling just be mindful that you will have to pay capital gains tax on that part of the property for the proportion of time you are running it as a business.
