As wg52 said the need for wc/shower is perhaps needed as wc will probably be frequently required. I would suggest adding a door to new bedroom to complete the room. Located in line with hall door and opening into room swung to the left. Then remove the door into the Hall (could reuse this door...

If you got a LDC then applications would be residential thereafter (assuming you are a freeholder and no properties above you, as then you would then need full planning). The answer re using PD afterwards is more complex. Most live/work units have their PD rights stripped (partly to stop change...

If the garage is associated with the house, which being in the garden assume it is, I think you need planning permission for change of use and for changes in appearance. I assume you live in open countryside, in which case whilst it may be feasible creating new dwellings is harder and often...

All sorted and working great. Thanks again!

Its very confusing without drawings but... I think if you do the PD first then the PP work, then your PP works would not comply with your approval. Your PP approval will cite the works must comply with drawings which will include as existing. Once you have done PD works the existing is then...

I think there is some confusion here in how a unilateral undertaking if formed. Often UU's are used for standard things set by the LPA's policy, therefore the LPA will have a suitable template (e.g. for paying affordable housing contributions). However if they do not you will need the LPA to...

Consider building the face of the brickwork on the boundary if possible/suitable depending on design (e.g. without overhanging eaves and designed without gutter to that side). Whilst your neighbour has the right under the party wall act to enclose the wall and use the wall they will have to...

Just double checked and on the thermostat they are labelled 1 & 2... I must have mis-read my notes and reading the cable colours. Many thanks again.

Hi Stem, yes that's the correct (the ? in your first diagram is labelled N). Many thanks!

The boiler's circuit board is unlabelled, but based on the current configuration hope someone can help check my deductions/proposal... At the moment: Programmer/Timer (Sunvic Select 107XL) N/L connected to its own fused spur power supply. 1/COM is connected with a Brown/Live cable to the...

It is well established legislation that has been in place 181 years which states this - Section 72 of the Highways Act 1835: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Will4/5-6/50/section/72

In terms of resolution on this... have the council given a reason for not permitting the dropped kerb - is it for safety / sight lines / reversing onto a main road, etc.? - there may be a way to satisfy/resolve the issue so the dropped kerbs could be installed. Did your neighbour get their...

Yes driving over the footway for legitimate access is fine. So if there is a dropped kerb this is acceptable. If there's no dropped kerb then if you get caught/fined you have to demonstrate a justifiable reason for doing so. This would usually be a one off scenario not for on-going use.

If the foundations have not been started and 3 years have lapsed then typically this would mean the planning approval has not been implemented and no longer can be. They applicant cannot start the works now and submitting an application a few days before expiry does not change that. (They should...

They can't make you build a wall. If there is just a kerb and no footway then I don't think there is anything they can do to stop you parking (unless this has been a condition or similar preventing such things). However under law you cannot drive on a footway. If you are witnessed doing so...

Many councils have policy on against back land development like this which may be a better case of argument against the development if it exists. Another argument could be against the road entrance on the corner. A "sight line" should be calculated based on distance you need to see up the road...

Yes once "Implemented" (started substantially) you have an indefinite period to finish within planning rules. There are some powers the council could use to enforce completion but they are rarely used apart from in extreme circumstances.

All you can do is object - similarly to if the house had been built as per plans and then an application to extend was submitted. If its acceptable and in line with policy then it will be approved as would an extension be. In terms of objecting you therefore would need to argue that it is not...

It imagine that once you implement the full planning permission the PD would not be PD still. For example one case where this could happen is where the full permission would increases the building footprint to say 50% of the plot - therefore the footprint couldn't be increased further under PD.

Yes - they will have the other one on file so they will reference it when reviewing. If you intend to build both I would be clear about this, to make the planners life as easy as possible. If the extensions don't work together they will either refuse the latter or condition it on the first...
