    Permitted development - can I render? Confused!

    Finally got an email back from planning. they are saying I can only render if some part of the existing house is render. Which I suppose it's what the pd rules suggest! He said that I would need to obtain planning permission to render the extension, but did say that he wouldn't forsee a...

    Permitted development - can I render? Confused!

    Right - think my mind is settled: render, paint in a stone colour to match the stone on the front elevation. I think it'll be sympathetic to the rest of the house and the other houses on the street. There is a risk they will kick up a fuss if I get a jobsworth. Worst comes to worst I have to...

    Permitted development - can I render? Confused!

    I've an idea. The front elevation of our house is mainly faced in stone (with brick at the edges, and brick on other three sides). I wonder whether, if we paint the render on the new extension in a matching stone colour, that we'd get away with the 'of similar appearance' requirement? If you...

    Permitted development - can I render? Confused!

    Right - ok, thanks. So if I just went ahead, white render the single storey extension on the back of a brick house - then I send my photo off to the council to show them that I've been a good boy and finished it and obeyed the PD conditions... only I haven't of course. And then what - the...

    Permitted development - can I render? Confused!

    Thanks again ^woody^. Anyone else agree with ^woody^? He's making me feel bullish. Might just go ahead and do it.

    Permitted development - can I render? Confused!

    These are helpful replies. So frustrating that Wakefield council are so slow in replying and you can't speak to anyone. So we could potentially paint it red brick colour (though we'd rather fancied de rigeur white render) And woody you think if we go-ahead regardless we'd get away with it -...

    Permitted development - can I render? Confused!

    Hi - new here! Hope I can get some sage advice. We have PD agreed by council to build a single storey extension on the back of a detached 1960s built house. Actually it is an extension of a small 1970s built kitchen extension - we are widening it to the width of the whole house. PD says...
