The other question is, if I did change colour without permission, what's the worst case scenario in terms if enforcement? Is enforcement even likely, assuming the windows aren't particularly offensive?

Thanks all, so it's shaky ground it seems. I drove through our village yesterday and spotted about 15 houses with coloured windows, not a single request for permission sought though. One house, terraced, had rendered their house pink with green windows. I'd be pretty mad if that was my neighbour.

As per the thread title I need to change my current windows (white upvc frame) and want to replace them with black framed aluminium windows. This is for a house, I don't live in a conservation area or other designated area. Do I need to notify my local planning department of this or am I free...

Cool many thanks, certainly not a deal breaker then and good to know. Taking the 45 degree from the edge of the window certainly would have caused some issues.

Hi all, back again. Ours plans are now in and we are playing the waiting game. Whilst looking at other recently submitted applications something triggered inside with respect to my application so i wanted to check something. Our Local Authority apply the 45 degree rule from the edge of the...

So we submitted our permitted development application for our ground floor extension which was approved (in a month, thanks local authority) however the day it was approved a lengthy letter of objection from our neighbours was also printed on our submission. Should my local authority have...

I completely missed this post so apologies. What are the grounds where PD rights can be removed? I've just had a look on the planning portal and it says the following: https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200187/your_responsibilities/37/planning_permission/2 We're certainly not in an...

I agree, best to make sure to avoid anything that will give the neighbours ammo. So what we are saying is that PP should only cover the 2nd floor rear and side extension, PD covering the rear extension and all other work internally to join the dots is neither here nor there. I have enlisted an...

That's a really interesting point, thanks for bringing it up. In essence we just want to pinch half the garage to create the open plan living room, however next door did a similar project (albeit all under PP) and to achieve it they knocked down that half of the garage and rebuilt it. I hadn't...

You're right I think I have the PP bit wrong, the entire PP application should cover the knock down and rebuild of half of the existing garage whilst converting to habitable space and 2nd floor rear and side extension. There is no rear extension as part of the PP application.

Thanks for your input, just to be clear the first floor extension to create the master bedroom follows the line of the existing kitchen (4m extension on first floor from the existing rear wall) so would be built on top of the existing roofline, ie there is no dependancy on the extension to the...

Ha! Yes everything you see on the existing floor plans is original to the existing house, built 1976. I had also added the first floor plans which all fall within PP but I don't see there being any issues with those so just keeping this to the ground floor issues.

We're just about to submit our plans for a 2 storey extension and out of courtesy we showed our neighbours our plans and its been issues ever since. With this in light i'd really appreciate if someone can provide some guidance as to whether there are any issues with what we are planning. My...

Thank you chaps, very helpful.
