Hello,
I own a terraced house between a shop and a residential house. The neighbours told me that they won't object to my proposed plans.
I want to apply in 1 full planning permission application for part change of use from residential to shop, 6m single-storey extension and a L-shaped rear & side extension loft dormer.
Do you think there is a greater risk of planning refusal due to the scale and bulk of development? The 6m single storey extension and 40 cubic metre loft dormer falls under PD rights. Can the Council refuse planning permission even though the government legislation says it is allowed?
For part change of use to shop, the policy states that there should be 'no loss of residential accomodation unless replaced by at least equivalent floorspace.' The large extension and loft dormer should re-provide the lost residential floorspace.
I have asked my planning consultant and architect, and they don't seem to be sure about PD rights. Also, I don't want to pay £3000 to the Council for pre-planning advice.
I will very much appreciate your suggestion and opinions.
