I have current (since 2005) PP for several alterations & extensions. I submitted a Building Notice in 2005 for a part of the work all of which has undergone the necessary inspections & will be complete within the next few months. A few questions I have been unable to find answers to;
• If I obtain a completion certificate for the current Building Notice, I assume my PP for the remaining alterations etc. still remains valid?
• If so, am I correct in assuming it will run to the original 5 year date? Is there a recognised way extending this date or, once it expires, will it mean a new submission?
• If I leave the current Building Notice open, does this mean PP on the uncompleted part of the work will remain valid beyond the original expiry date as the work has already started? Or does it only apply to work included on a current Building Notice?
• Are there any drawbacks in leaving a notice "open"? Does it only remain valid for a pre-determined time period? I appreciate I would need a Completion Certificate before any sale taking place.
