Hi
I need to find out what happens in the following circumstances:
This appears to be a different building that was done without planning permission and would have required an entirely new planning permission or be pulled down.
it's been 13 years since planning permission was granted and 11 years since the building work was finished.
The extension was occupied for at least 5 years.
Does this mean that the planning permission was never used and has now lapsed?
I need to find out what happens in the following circumstances:
- Planning permission is given for a house extension.
- The extension is built but it's different in quite a few ways from the planning permission:
- a brick built store room should have been knocked down before the work started but never was
- eaves height is taller by 25%
- width is smaller by 10% to 20%
- shape - it tapers in width rather than being an oblong
- the roof pitch is 22 degrees instead of 30 degrees
- a door was put in instead of a window
- double doors were put in instead of a single door of the same size.
- UPVC doors and windows were used instead of painted wood
