A good architect in the area will pretty much offer you what they will do at pre-application stage. Site looks a little akward. Although there may be space for 3 cars to park, the access looks a little difficult on a bend. If you are driving on to there, is it going to be safe for the people...

As far as I am aware you are right. Do you have to remove the trees in order to build your garage or not though? Are you sure that the local authority would pick it up / request a tree survey regardless? I doubt it is going to be a requirement for validation purposes (from a planning point of...

How new are the houses / when were they built? If the properties were built within the last 4 years you could get in contact with the local planning authority / their enforcement section, and outline your concerns regarding the doors, in the sense that the building hasn't been constructed in...

How has it been sealed up, and what do you mean by "Opening the back of the chimney up?" If its just plasterboarded up, then I would say it's fine to open it up, and just use that recess as space to house your unit. If you need to do something that is going to effect anything structurally...

I can hazard a guess that the poster probably has some element of both side and rear extension, or the proposed mainly "rear" extension requires planning permission (because it also comes of a side wall and exceeds the width, because it exceeds 50% of the garden etc) As previous posters have...

Bit of a strange issue. The driveway issue and the kerb issue are probably 2 seperate things. The driveway itself (area where you park your car) is probably exempt (doesn't now need permission) because of the 4 year rule. I think from a planning point, that is just ensuring that the driveway...

I am not entirely clear on what your getting at with the post, so just a few questions ; - Was the shepherds hut there before you gained permission for the holiday let? - Are you planning to let this shepherds hut out for a holiday let type deal (as per the other annexe) As I see it, the...

I would go with the D2 use too. I'd be submitting a planning statement with it outlining opening hours, noise etc parking. That people are going to be have to come in by appointment / pre-booked, and that will help keep those issues down (I can't imagine you are going to have people just...

Just to offer a bit of general advice, I am not sure a house would be the best idea. I doubt you are going to be able to provide the garden space and / or carparking for both the new property - whilst maintaining the same for the original dwellings. Has anyone done anything similar in the...

I think technically you would need a sub base even with loose gravel as a finish. You seem quite keen to do this by the book (!) do you think you are going to have problems with the council / neighbours when laying this? Enough for a council official to come and remove some of your top layer of...

Surprised they have said you can demolish it and carry on - I've seen a few say technically you still wouldn't be able to build a 6m x 6m after demolition, because the guidance says "original dwellinghouse" the definition of that is "the house as it stood as of July 1948" (as my memory serves...

Yep, the planning applications you would need to apply for, for the permitted development elements would be free. As said it's to "control development", as there are some fairly horrendous things you can do under permitted development. Good development should be okay as long as thers no harm.

Evis, do you mind if I ask, what did you put on your application form to the council? The vast majority of the time, you / the agent will often put "extension" or something akin to that, and then the LPA will re-write the proposal to something that is more suitable. In your application form...

Agreed. There's a few things in your favour - Firstly, it doesn't say anything in the proposal about when the demolition should of taken place - just double check the conditions put on the approval. They should of stipulated it in there, otherwise they don't have any real control over it...

Technically they can't do it without amending the plan. They wouldn't be building the house in accordance with the approved plan, and technically they would have to put an application in to amend it. You are right in that you don't need permission to brick it up AFTER (Or on a house that's...

Just to answer a few of your bullet pointed questions. - There isn't a "usual" height for industrial sites to be built to, each is looked at their own merits. I guess if it's an "outbuilding" it generally wouldn't be larger than the original building. - The fact it does back onto a...

To go back to the original posters question - If the garage is removed then the conditions wouldn't be applicable regardless. It doesn't apply to the space that the garage occupies, it relates to the actual garage itself. The only exception to this is if (for some reason) that the council...

It would be the best option - but to answer his question, It would require planning permission. (Part 1 Class A (3) Materials used in exterior work shall be similar in appearance to those used on the exterior of the existing house) As a side note - not approving a flat roof extension (Under...

So the application is to build a flat in a basement? (put 4 walls etc inside a basement) Not convert a basement? Was there any stipulations on the original build when it was approved? You need to provide some specifics.

There is little point checking if PD rights are intact in this situation, as ANY side extension (regardless of scale) on a corner plot like this will require planning permission (Class A, Part D) As Freddy explains, it will require a planning application and will be assessed on it's own...
