Would be classed as a new driveway technically, so the normal PD rules would apply. Needs to be porous as per the GPDO to not require planning permission. Class F - "either the hard surface is made of porous materials, or provision is made to direct run-off water from the hard surface to a...

Depends on when you want to start, I would appeal if you've got the time (with a good supporting statement) and there's no fee. Worse case scenario it's refused, just resubmit your original application for free with the 6m extension, or carry out some PD works.

Curtilage isn't back before 1948 either - That's just defining what is 'original' with the dwelling and doesn't necessarily define what curtilage is - as tony says its set on a case to case basis. My gut feeling is if you have a lane to the back garden then it is probably not curtilage... I...

I think as long as it is a side and rear extension (so part of it can be classed as a rear extension) and as long as it fits in with the PD rights for side AND rear extensions, then it can be done under Prior Notification

Think they are £28? A non material amendment might be fine, but it's at the planners discretion if it is non-material in it's nature or not. If it's something that's going to be overlooking or detrimental then maybe it's not considered to be non material. If it's tiny change's then it's...

It doesn't matter. If you are going through the Prior Notification process they can't apply any design guides or policies as long as it meets the requirements (height, distance etc) in the Prior Notification process. UNLESS your neighbours comment, then they get to assess it - so if your...

I was just about to post that ^^ that's what the builder is getting at. Prior notification would be fine for that too, but you can't put a prior notification in if you have started the works.. (or at least wait until the planning officer visits) It seems it's probably caught on that...

Difficult to tell without a plan or sketch, but your probably going to be okay as I don't think you will be coming forward of the principle elevation.

Talking about planning or building or both? Needs planning regardless as it takes up more than 50% of the garden space? Think the height is measured from the highest adjoining land level so probably okay from the slope at the end of the garden room

I think I am in the same boat as Gerald / Wessex - although I have not really checked the new legislation thoroughly, but would like to hear some clarification. I assume that he wrap around extension shouldn't be an argument because it's not extending off an original side wall, just the...

I have seen a few applications approved under the prior notification process for what the OP is proposing. The arguments is "well if I demolish the existing extension (the 15 years ago one), then I can rebuild it with the proposed extension exactly as it is now under the prior notification...

As long as you have permitted development rights you should be fine. Probably look a bit out of place and the neighbours may well moan, but can't see why you couldn't extend the dormer wider and towards the eaves under PD.

Don't worry about the addition of the wall. For planning, just measure it all (wall and conservatory) as one extension and apply the same rules. So bottom of wall (where the ground meets your house) to eaves = 3m max.

Yes, anything attaching to the green will require permission, unless you apply the Hilton case that Tony posted about (in which you only consider the proposal and not what it attaches to)

The 6m / 8m single storey rear extensions are done under the prior notification scheme, sort of separate permitted development legislation, where if no neighbour objects permission is automatically granted. They are quite large extensions. Also they are written as catch all legislation for all...

It can be tricky to grasp sometimes, but it does need consent. The easiest way to start is to work out where your original rear walls are on the house, In this case you have a rear wall where the window is on the rear room marked "Reception Room" and a rear wall at the back of the kitchen where...

Would advise against this. I think the OP means its a prior notification for a larger house extension (as they are sending letters out etc) If it was PD then sure go ahead, but it sounds like Prior Notification, as you don't have consultation on PD (LDC) apps. If you do start, you can't...

Maybe they want to appeal a LA interpretation, or some new legislation.. But no not really :D It doesn't matter if they are permitted development..

You can definitely put them both on one application. As long as its PD it doesn't matter how many you put on

Wouldn't get too worried decking isn't going to be on the top of the councils list to chase up on. As its a 2007 build you should be able to view the plans electronically on the councils website from when your house was built, it's worth double checking to establish whether or not the decking...
