This is what I'm now starting to realise. Too late to change anything now though, unless we have no choice. I hope that is the case. I just didn't know whether or not I would have this hanging over me until it was immune from enforcement action. I feel like I'll be looking over my shoulder for...

It does show some set back, but there is no measurement. From the plan, it looks as though there would be more set back than there actually is.

No, we used an architect seperate to the builders for our plans and building control inspections have been carried out by a private bc firm. We're awaiting final inspection after a few final touches.

Apologies, I'm probably using incorrect terms. The local authority planning portal online shows a record of a complaint/enquiry being received. No details of the complaint, just the date received. It also shows that the named officer has closed the case, that the decision was 'no further...

They are indeed a loft conversion specialist. If we had our time again we'd do things differently. In my defence, this is the first time we've had building work done and chose what we thought was the best option for us. They were well aware of the 40/50m³ extra space limitation, so I'd be very...

Assuming worst case scenario and we're told to move the dormer back by 10-15cm. What would be a ballpark cost for moving the wall back for a 6m wide dormer, 10k, 20k, 30k. The entire job has cost 50k.

The rear face of the dormer sits about 8-10cm of the eaves. One of the stipulations of permitted development rules is, where practicable, the rear of the dormer shouldn't be any closer than 20cm to the eaves. The eaves are flush with the wall so the only way the dormer could be moved back would...

My thinking is that surely we'd have a strong argument that if a potential breach had been highlighted as a result of this visit, it would be a lot easier/cheaper to make changes at that point than it would be now.

I have screenshots from the planning portal. Would it be common for a case to be reopened or a new case opened if there was a further complaint?

The case can be seen on the planning portal. All I can see is that the case is closed, the result is no further action, and the relevant dates. I've had zero contact with the council as we weren on holiday when the visit was carried out.

We've recently had a loft conversion carried out, almost finished now. At the stage where the dormer structure was built and tiled, somebody complained to planning and we had a visit from the council. The case was closed and no further action was taken. My question is, is it possible for...
