I didn't understand your last para. Are you saying that i need to knock down my existing conservatory even though it is 5 years old. Or check with council to get retrospective permission or i can even apply for a rear extension as I have plans to do that as well. Please clarify. The document is...

About point 3, why are you saying never mind planning permission. If the conditions in garage approval says that i need to get prior permission from DPA for any additions or extensions, doesn't it mean that my PDs are automatically taken away and i need to ask their permission to even build a...

sorry, there are two threads that i have raised and got confused. But all are linked. Our overall plan is to convert the garage to habitable room and knock the conservatory to get an proper rear extension.

When i bought this house, I did notice these conditional approval, but I was less worried about the conservatory and got only indemnity insurance. I would like to explore the following options, please do provide me your feedback. 1. Irrespective of Article 4 direction or conditions, if i am...

The thing is that the old home owners didn't build any rear extension and all we have is a conservatory that was built 5 years ago. So, we are thinking to knock it off and rebuild a rear extension for which i need to apply planning permission. Hopefully it gets cleared since they have already...

I am surprised how they can put such rule while getting a garage permission in 1978. I just want to reconfirm that this will not do anything with respect to internal modelling of the house isn't?

I am thinking that normal procedure is first to get planning permission followed by building regulations. not the vice versa isn't?

Hi John You are right! There are 5 conditions prescribed in the approval. 1. Commencement within 5 years 2. Materials related 3.No further additions or extensions to the dwelling to be built without prior permission of District Planning Authority 4. The garage must not be converted to habitable...

Are you saying anyone of them can take precedence?

Hi I was looking at my local search of the property and it shows the following Building regulation approval for Garage is received Feb 1980 whereas the planning permission for this is received at April 1980. I am bit confused as normally the planning permission is the one which comes first...

Thank you so much John!

Thanks! One last query is that I don't need to worry about the present layout of my house isn't? As any internal structures or wall removed will not affect Article 4? It only applies to extensions or garages and not the main property. Reason is that I don't have any way of ascertaining the...

Thanks for your queries. What does the following mean? This is what i see in the council website Restrictive planning conditions Permitted development rights can sometimes be removed by restrictive planning conditions. These are different from a restrictive covenant. I also need to understand...

Ok let me be clear. There is an existing garage and conservatory in my house. The garage is having a conditional approval dated back at 1977. The conservatory is built 5 years ago which is within PDs Now my questions 1. As I realized that I can't modify anything in my garage without Planning...

The garage has conditional approval on 1977. Currently we are trying to take half of the space and do a utility without changing the front of garage. So confused as we can;t do any automatic PDs in the garage isn't? The document approval says that we are not allowed for any alterations without...
