I'll proceed with planning permission and hope everything will be approved with my current drawings. Thanks everyone, your help has been invaluable. (y) P.S. For future questions, would it be appropriate to open a new thread or continue on with this one?

@ ^woody^ I am in agreement with you woody, however there is one thing I am wondering. Hypothetically; if Planning Permission is denied, how much of the decision would be final i.e. how much leniency and negotiability am I potentially give. I assume the £206 if not refunded of course, but would...
