Applying for an Immunity Certificate from the States of Guernsey
Development & Planning Authority (DPA) is due
to become more costly.
The application fee (currently £70) will increase to
£250 with effect from 27 March 2023.
When issued, an Immunity Certificate grants a prospective
purchaser of a property immunity from enforcement action being
taken against them by the DPA in respect of a breach of planning
regulations which occurred prior to them becoming the owner of the
property.
The application is ordinarily made in the initial stages of a
purchase (prior to any contract becoming binding), and takes
approximately 10 working days to process, although this timeframe
may vary.
