Woody, Thanks. My local authority is reviewed prior approval plans without drawings. The applicant has simply loaded an incomplete permitted development form, site and block location plans. No actual drawings. I assume this would fail if someone raised an objection?

The application has been submitted under permitted development but is subject to prior approval - therefore I’d have assumed drawings were required?

Hi All, Apologies in advance if this has already been answered elsewhere but there seems to be ambiguity on this. When submitting plans for a single story rear extension under permitted development - is there a strict requirement for architectural drawings? Or is the site location and block...

Understood - let me summarise to ensure I’ve got this. If the neighbour gets the permissions approved, commences excavation work (assuming they do not breach the depth of my foundation), then no PWA is required? If they do breach the foundation, then a PWA is required but it’s already too late...

Totally understood. Perhaps a digging a trial hole would be prudent? So by the sounds of it, in all intents and purposes... they do not need to complete a PWA?

So once the planning permission has been granted and they start works without issuing a PWA, I should just leave them to it? Am I correct in assuming that a PWA only needs to be issued if they go beneath a certain level of my foundation? How do I know this if they just start works without...

Thanks Notch7 - and what happens if the neighbours do not issue a party wall notice and start the excavation work? What’s the recourse then? File for an injunction to stop building works?

Because an excavation will exist near to and below the foundation level of my building. Isn't this what the PWA covers?

Thanks Tony - on point 3) regarding PWA. From my understanding this is completely separate from the planning process. Assuming the planning application is granted, does the neighbour need to engage with me to define, agree and sign a PWA? If they start to build the extension and do not engage...

Thanks all. My concerns (wish I will raise directly to the council) are: - Inadequate plans and application form (incomplete and wrong plans) - Loss of light and / or reduced outlook (due to a proper extension blocking my window) - Party wall? - I don't think there is a party wall...

Hi All, I've recently received a letter from my local council informing me that my neighbour is planning a single storey rear extension. In principle - I have no objections with the rear extension as I have my own and have done so for almost 10 years. Mine currently sits at an extension of...
