Hi,
I am currently in the middle of getting planning permission for extending my 1947 detached house. It has been referred to the planning committee (recommended approval).
The house is the smallest on the road and was self-built in 1947 (the other houses are 1930s or 1950s onwards). My 82-year-old neighbour who lived in the road before the house was built has told us that the house is small because there was a post-war limit on house sizes in order to conserve materials. I am hoping to use this as justification for the extension.
Does anyone know what the rule or legislation would have been called so I can use it as part of my case? I have no luck on google or asking friends.
Many Thanks!
