PD and PP

[ms777]

I expect to get planning permission granted for a front porch and rear extension (in a single planning application), and also permitted development COL for a rear dormer.

Can I do part of the PP, then do the PD, then finish the rest of the PP?

I would like to build the front porch first (PP), then the dormer (PD), then the rear extension (PP).

I thought I read somewhere you would have to start and finish one before you can start the next?

That would only be true if there was some sort of (unilateral) undertaking on your part to complete the PD before commencing the PP - OR if the PP came with a condition suspending your PD rights at the point at which the PP was commenced.

In both cases, you would complete the PD prior to commencing the PP, but both of these scenarios are unlikely in this instance.

Great thanks, that is good to know.

The front porch has a footprint larger than 3m² (and/or a height taller than 3m)?

Yes it has a footprint of larger than 3m², hence why it has to go in with the full planning permission, rather than being included with the permitted development part.

I don't think that's been the case since 2008 when the PD rules changed
