'Original House' term. Is a canopy included?

If he was your client would you recommend that strategy?

I'm not sure. I'd have to examine the facts of the case. For instance, is it fact, or supposition, that the structure in question was a canopy?

Genuinely, what hole?

In a planning context, you need to go from the house elevation, and not the edge of anything attached to the elevation such as a canopy - whether it is or was there.

Hi woody,

So do you think it is worth submiting an application for a full width extension first, instead of an L-shape extension? 6m from the back of the original house elevation and 6m from the back of the original house canopy that doesn't exist? Or will i just be wasting my time?

My architect has drawn the L-shape plan so far.

I attached 2 pictures. Existing and proposed plans. The dining room is where the canopy was. The canopy left side wall remains intact for evidence. Taking Nakajo's suggestion, can't I just tell the council instead that there was a roof glazed extension made before 1948, that was part of the house elevation? I could mention this in the planning notes. I think it's worth a try

Even if the officer does a site visit, I think it shouldn't be a problem.
