Because, after building the first 3m, the new application (planning, not PD) would only be for the remaining 1.6m (in my case). Those 1.6m have no impact on the light for the neighbours and do not cross any 45 degree line because that end of the extension is not near any rear-facing window...

No - this is a proper planning application which was submitted after the PD was turned down (based on the belief that the arguments would receive a more thorough appraisal under planning than under PD where they just seem to say no when there's any objection). As I said before, it's not a...

I actually agree that threats are not a good way forward but, to be fair to Nakajo, it's not really a threat - it's the logical fall back position after a rejection so they should really be taking that into account in the decision making process. The previous app was the one I referred to in...

New development on this today - although my planning officer is fine with my plans, I'm told the head of planning has now intervened and said she doesn't think it should go ahead (I assume because they rejected an earlier app and now want to maintain their position). Anybody heard of or...

Thanks chris5 but it's the neighbour consultation process causing the problems here! It's a good suggestion Darluc but I already got a signed agreement from the neighbour which was promptly ignored by both the neighbour and the council!

Haha that's true actually. I hadn't really thought about what that capacity translated to. In which case you're back to not declaring the swimming pool which could give you PD but then you risk a neighbour complaining and potential enforcement. If, however, you speak with your neighbours and...

I looked at this a while ago but quite hard to comment without knowing more details about size and whether the swimming pool building would be connected to the main house. If not, it's very possible you could build it under permitted development rights. Read here for further details...

You're right but I've been persevering with the original plans and hoping that somehow logic would prevail and, amazingly, it might have done. Spoke with planning officer this morning and we discussed the fall back position of 3m under PD and she conceded that building that would impact...

Hi chappers, it's possible and that is our fall back position with the council (though not as yet had permission even for this). Problem is that 1.9m eaves height leaves you with ~1.7m internal ceiling height at the lowest point. It's not a disaster but it makes it very difficult to accommodate...

Haha a reasonable case officer :ROFLMAO: Seriously though, I have tried that one and they weren't having it. Maybe I've pi**ed them off somehow though can't think how. The splayed idea is not bad though - if my latest application fails I will try that although I'm not so keen to lose that...

Ah right with you. Yes forgot that drawing says 4.85m - think a later one was corrected to 4.6m. But anyway, the point is the same - I fully agree with what you're saying but the council are objecting to all of it - not just the final couple of metres. You and I might think that's unreasonable...

5.1m? Bit confused by that one - it's a 4.6m extension so it's the final 1.6m! Non-detached houses only get 3m on regular PD. In any case I agree with you - it's a shame that the neighbour is old and not well and it's just not possible to have a reasonable conversation like that with him. I do...

An extra 1600mm but yes, that's correct (depth is 4600mm vs. 3000mm for normal PD rights).

Hi Najako If you mean the rear projection on the existing plans then no, this is pre-1948 addition to a victorian terrace (built 1891). And just to clarify, the added rear extension on the proposed plans has already been approved. Only talking about the side infill here. Thanks

All, I'm new on here but going through a bit of a planning nightmare at the moment and would really appreciate any guidance or help the community can offer! I'll try to keep this brief but want to give the relevant details so please bear with me: I recently bought a 3 bed mid-terraced...
