On this episode you'll meet Ian, and hear about his background and passions for property, planning and helping people succeed in the business.

As always, Ian's had many questions land on his desk during the week. This week on Property on Fire, he answers Sasha's. She wants to know all about use class E, as she often gets confused by classes. Ian runs through all the new classes and the recent alterations when providing his full and detailed answer.

Mohammed and Max have questions about the new mandatory minimum space standards, and daylight requirements for habitable rooms. Ian explains about the new changes and also points out that some standards may soon be changing. When they do, you'll hear about them here.

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!
