Building Lines

On a development such as that, I doubt building lines are that significant. An application would probably be judged on other grounds, such as overall impact, parking, amenity space etc.
BTW, £250 for an initial meeting is a complete rip-off! Pre-app meetings are a waste of time. They are just an excuse to use any underemployed member of staff to um-and err- over your drawings, while bringing in useful revenue.

A good architect in the area will pretty much offer you what they will do at pre-application stage.
Site looks a little akward. Although there may be space for 3 cars to park, the access looks a little difficult on a bend. If you are driving on to there, is it going to be safe for the people driving out to reverse onto the road there?
Might be the case you reduce the house a little bit from what you have got there, and reposition slightly, and also depends on whats happening on House A in terms of windows etc.
Get someone on board, worse case scenario put the application in, get a refusal, send it to appeal, and then resubmit to try and overcome the issues.

I have experience of at least two applications where permission for a house took years, one was at least 8 years I kid you not, and they were already plots that just hadn't been built on!
dkennedy1001, you need to adopt a very tenacious outlook and you must watch those pennies because once you've done an application or two and have maybe not got very far the costs will start mounting. sometimes the planets align and these things are not too bad but other times .....
I have to concur with the views above on Pre-app. In this instance, it's probably a waste of time. Just submit a planning application. If it's wrong in some way, the council will tell you so and either you will amend it within the timeframe of the application, or you will submit a subsequent correct application under the 'one-free-go' policy. Either way, the process will be cheaper, quicker (and no less likely of a positive outcome) than the pre-app route.
Thanks guys, great advice and it seems like it's hard to know until you actually apply.
More like, if it's wrong in some way the council will sit on it til 2 days before the deadline then try and catch you on the back foot with a "if you don't withdraw it we will refuse it" and then if pressed issue a varying ridicule of 'problems' with your scheme that have no firm grounding in planning policy. You then won't have time within the timeframe of the application to address their concerns and may well withdraw to prevent a refusal, because that looks bad on future apps, and they get a tick on their performance sheet because a withdrawn app has been dealt with without going over time. Cool

Yes; in effect they get two apps for one because the subsequent application usually passes anyway.
Because there doesn't appear to be any distinction between withdrawn and re-submitted apps, the Government thinks that LPAs are all very busy dealing with lots of applications and doing a very efficient job.
Oh for the days before the War when an app. was approved by default if they didn't issue a decision in time.
