I have that very lock on my door, but it's the old original door on a 1960s house and I intend to replace it with a composite before long. I paid £90 for the lock, which was all I wanted to pay for the old door. However, when my new door is fitted, I intend to update it to the yale conexis. I...

Eaves height specifically in flat roof scenarios. In a flat roof scenario, the eaves are measured from the adjoining ground, vertically to where it meets the top surface of the flat roof. If this (eaves), can be no higher than say a typical 2.1m existing eaves, to meet PD, the inside space will...

Single Stoey PD Roof by designgrey posted 17 Feb 2021 at 5:31 PM Browsing threads on here yesterday, I came across the bombshell that most bungalows can't achieve a rear extension under Permitted Development for one reason or another, mainly eaves heights dictate low headroom inside, or as in...

The example I showed from the Planning Portal (and I can't find an example anywhere else including the Government's Permitted development rights for householders technical guide) is a solution I have seen in PD many times, some even having a LDC issued. Are you saying the Planning Portal info is...

Single Stoey PD Roof by designgrey posted 17 Feb 2021 at 5:31 PM The Planning Portal mini guide shows this, so the existing roof altered is PD?

To be safe then, do Prior Approval separately with a covering letter for each notifying the LPA of the other's intentions? That way either side has no obligations?

But what about the benefits if the Prior Approval? It's cheaper if nothing else. If HH (which I'm not sure what that is and I'm currently looking on the Planning Portal) is what it needs to be, so be it. But what happens if approval is given or a joint scheme and one party pulls out?

Do you mean full householder planning?

Two properties (joined terraced) want to infill the yard space at the same time. The extensions are 5.6m from the original wall so will be applied for under Larger Home Extension. Should each individual set of drawings show the proposed extension for the neighbour too? Thank you

@woody, is that a common thing for them to do?

Hi All A small semi-detached cottage on a green belt had permission (many years ago) for a 4m rear extension, single storey. A side extension under planning is going to be proposed, but we are told that the council will only be looking for an increase of around 30% of the original building if...

I agree with the permitted development guidlines being enough to have the confidence to crack on. However, I've seen people pull out of house sales on Solicitors' advice because there was no Lawful Development Certificate available. Unfortunately it's a real world problem and then the house...

Thanks Woody, very kind of you to say so.

I always sit down with my clients and go through the Permitted Development Technical Guidance with them. I show them why I believe a development is permitted. Then I explain the Lawful Development Certificate, how it's not mandatory, but it is a great document to add to your deeds and really...

I've got to admit, I thought applying for one was a great peace of mind for anyone?

Hi Woody. I guess the topic has been covered before? Thanks for your help everyone!

So if you gain prior approval, you would still be wise to get a Lawful Development Certificate????? CoL = Certificate of Lawfulness????
