    Planning Refusal, Council considers residential garden to be open countryside.

    Going to say that they won't be able to argue, and then the whole argument that curtilage is not a land use anyway. I personally would of appealed the original refusal as it's a free service, just to see what the inspector would summarise.

    Side return Extension 4.5 metres - PD v Planning

    Yes, unless the council miss it somehow, or they interpret the legislation differently. You (or your agent) have put an application in for the council to consider, they are considering it. I think the councils usually get up to 6 weeks for these type o applications to make a decision. I think...

    Side return Extension 4.5 metres - PD v Planning

    "CURRENTWRAP" will be "rejected" under a prior notification application because it is too wide. The width (measured at the widest point) of side and rear extension cannot be any wider than 50% of the width of the house. CURRENT WRAP is too wide. SIDEEX is okay because it is two separate...

    Side return Extension 4.5 metres - PD v Planning

    You can't do the image on the "Current Wrap" drawing under prior notification it is too wide you - so yes it will definitely be "rejected" just because it does not meet permitted development rules. You would have to submit a full application in order to get a wrap around. I can't see too much...

    Planning Refusal, Council considers residential garden to be open countryside.

    Just a few questions? Is your property in A specific designated area in terms of Policy? (I.E. Greenbelt? Article 5 land etc) or a local-level policy? What "fairly new" development? Is your house a new build? The nearest residential building is 95m away? that seems a little bit unreasonable...

    Side return Extension 4.5 metres - PD v Planning

    I am not 100% sure what a side 'return' extension is, and the question isn't massively clear. A Pic maybe would help but you explained it O.K in words. You can do a full application and a Prior Notification application. I think you mean you are going to submit a full app and a prior...

    Buying a house with no permissions on changes/extension

    Just take photos of everything when you buy the property with a date stamp on it (or the days newspaper or something that proves the date) as long as you have the property more than 4 years before you sell (or at any point) you can apply for a certificate of lawfulness yourself that will cost...

    When has a planning permission been implemented?

    Why would someone implement a permission, to then put everything back exactly how it was pre-implementation, to do something that was permitted development in the first place?

    PD or Not - Front Extension

    I was referring to your existing drawing, where the red line meets a pillar / wall on the left hand side of the red dotted line (it falls just out of view on the photo, to the left of the blue van as we look at it) If that was a wall then maybe you could argue the whole thing (the wall and the 3...

    PD or Not - Front Extension

    Pretty horrible one! Under the terrace at ground floor (at the front) is that a wall? You could argue that maybe forms a wall that fronts a principal elevation of the house? Otherwise that is just extra detail / support and the principal elevation (as normal principal elevations have) is the...

    Architects Drawings

    Yeah as there wasn't a paper size mentioned I assumed an A3 for elevations floor plans and a section, so I just doubled the 0.5p (a little crude I know :P)

    Architects Drawings

    I would be more bothered that he sold you one sheet of paper (cost about 1 penny?) for about £450.00.... Almost 45,000% for a bloody piece of paper!

    Decking at a block of flats

    Nice to see you have some faith! When the previous poster advised that planning would probably approve it - they are taking a general view. If something has been up there for 4+ years without a single objection (to the council) then as applicant or planning agent you could make a decent case...

    Planning Fee Advice

    Is Planning needed?

    ^^ Your last paragraph and napoleons are right, If it's in front of the house, any alterations / extensions you want to make to it are going to require a planning application.

    Two storey extension

    Freddys bang on, your "rear extension" is classed as a side and rear extension. Even if that rear bit it is attaching to is not original (and the extension would be classed as purely rear from the "original" house) then you don't fulfil the distance from the boundary requirement across the whole...

    Permitted Development and Planning Permission

    Just be aware that for roof alterations under permitted development, then you are only allowed to add up to a maximum of 50 cubic metres of space (from the original roof) If you use all your "allocation" of cubic metres up by adding a higher roof and adding front dormers, then you need to be...

    "Heritage Asset" definition

    Original Poster, are you having to put a heritage statement together because your property falls within a conservation area? It may benefit you to have a look through parts of the NPPF, and also to an extent PPS5 document (please be aware that the PPS5 policy was mainly superseeded by the NPPF...

    Garden Office\Salon - guidence appreciated

    Nope, both are fine. If you say you want a run a business in an outbuilding, rather than use it as a use incidental to the dwelling house, then it needs planning permission, no need for opinion. My opinion, which is based on a few pieces of information cannot be just yes or no, as I don't have...
