So if we follow our plan, the original outrigger will remain intact since it is only the old 3m extension that we will be rebuilding. Promise!

OK - to be very clear: the distance from the original rear wall of the dwelling (the rear wall of the outrigger), to the rear most point of the rear-most proposed extension is 3m.

Right - so we are knocking down the current extension which is 3m long and attached to the original outrigger and then rebuilding this. The new extension will also be 3m long and attached to the original outrigger. The difference between the old and the new is that the new 3m extension will...

hi - just wanted to clarify that the outrigger is original and the rear-most 3m extension is therefore attached to a part of the original building - we are rebuilding the existing 3m is extension. This is not an issue for PD (it is not 6m long). Perhaps my original drawing was not clear. With...

Hi there, I think this was covered earlier, but would be good to confirm a common understanding... so: a) I think that the guidance on p18 is not relevant as the 3m extension at the end is acutally attached to an outrigger which is part of the original house. See image below (the black part...

Perhaps editing existing drawings and messing around trying to gather information about the rules is just too much of a hassle for most people given that they may only go through the process once only, but as with many of these types of things, the initial consumers would probably be...

I guess the problem with the inspection is that it requires the inspector to sacrifice more time to do the second inspection. Donating my drawings to a repository costs me nothing more and will help somebody who owns a property with a similar layout. Just like open sourcing any kind of...

Up to them, but I don’t intend on selling any designs we develop and I would happily contribute anything we develop or own the rights to once our little building project is over.

Different topic, but are there any websites that allow people to contribute their designs to an easily searchable repository of designs? I am just thinking that there must be 1000s of terraced houses like ours where the owner is considering a 3m PD extension. We would definitely have found...

The extension is exactly 1/2 of the width of the width of the original house at its widest point so it sounds like I should be OK on this point. Thank you for pointing out the rule - I had forgotten about that one.

Yeah - 8 weeks for Lawful Development Certificates I believe... see clause 13 here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/11497/developmentcertificates.pdf I have done a number of planning apps, a pre-app and the extra large PD apps and...

Hi Jonbey - thank you for response. The larger extensions policy is not applicable here since this is a 3m extension (so it is not subject to the neighbour consultation scheme either) - there is an example shown in the PD documents which shows something similar. Also I would rather not wait...

Hi, I was wondering if I needed to make a full planning application or if everything that we would like to do falls under Permitted Development... does anybody know? Our terraced property originally looked like this on the ground floor: We believe that some time in the past, it was extended...
