Thank you. Couldn't have put it better myself. :)

Hmm.... I see where the disconnect is. Ok so you do the extension first and then do the HMO for which you don't need planning. Either way, clearly there is a way when you want to get things done. The planning don't come and check what else your doing with the house, all they know is your doing...
