Thanks Woody, If they did remove PD rights after we make the pp application I guess these only kick in once you have built it out? Could we also not include the rear part on the red lines on the pp app? Has anyone else got any creative ideas?

HI there, after a couple of pre-apps and a refusal my local council have agreed in principle to my two storey side extension providing i step in by 1m at first floor level. This will replace an existing single storey side extension built with PP (keeping the same width at ground floor). This...

Looking at the construction of the extension wall it’s the following: 100mm concrete outer block 100mm? thermolite block inner 25mm DR therm polystyrene slab cavity clipped to inner skin Is this ok to build off and would the insulation need to be upgraded if incorporated into a new extension...

This is relevant part of the building control doc

Has anyone got any further advice on this?

Thanks for your reply, Woody, I have an architect working on plans, and he never mentioned any of the above potential issues. I wanted to speak to a couple of builders to get a very rough idea of costs, to see if I can afford an extension of this scale. I realise that without concrete plans then...

Hi there, We have a single storey side extension that currently houses our kitchen. We are thinking of adding a second storey on top of it and also taking it further out towards the front of the house, keeping two of the existing walls, assuming the footings are good enough. I found a building...

So basically you are saying you that if we did a rear extension at the back under PD- when it comes to apply for the pp for the new dwelling it may be refused as the new reduced plot would result in our rear boundary being less than 7m from the back of the extension?

Thanks Motorbiking- do you have a link to guidance that states this?

Hi there, We live in a 1930's semi on a decent sized corner plot. We had a meeting with the council planners and they agreed we had potential to build a small bungalow at the bottom of the plot/garden. This is our long term plan but in the meantime we plan to develop our current plot with a rear...

Hi there, I wish to do a rear one/two storey extension on my corner plot semi detached property. The house has an existing side (kitchen) extension that is flush with the rear of the main house and set back 3m at the front. This was done through planning permission (not PD) many years ago A...

Thanks again Notch. I think I (kind of) know what you mean. Any chance you could find a quick google image showing similar? Something a little bit like this?

Thanks Notch. Extension is flush at back of house and set back about 3m at front. Pitch is same for both roofs (at least to my eye)

Yes footings are good for two storeys

Thanks- could you send a photo so I can imagine/see how it would work?

Hi there, we are on a corner plot and I am hoping to add a bedroom directly on top of our side extension which houses the kitchen (external 4.3m x 3.8m). I know I will need pp for this and aim go get some builders around soon to have a look. Seems like it would be pretty straightforward but...

Hi guys we live in a corner plot and the garden at the side and front of the house is on a slope so it’s approx 60-80cm lower at street level than the main garden. we want to level out and build up the garden and build a 60-80cm retaining wall. we then want to put a fence on top for privacy...

Thanks Nakajo- what do you mean by 'build out the permission'?

Thanks Blub, Architect has already done PP application and no problem with drains, services etc. For the plot I think 150k is realistic as a smaller plot sold for this 3 or 4 years back in a less desirable area Is it fair to assume that the value of the house with PP would be as follows...

Thanks Connty, who is the best person to get advice from? Approached a local estate agent but they didn't want to come over to value at the moment as not ready to sell yet and they are v.busy.
