Permitted Develoment retracted?

[RichA]

If the council grants a CoL for PD can this later be retracted?

i.e. If I get a CoL for PD; and then apply for further PD / Full Planning Application can they review their original (granted) PD, re-interpret or review their application of the PD rules and revoke the CoL?

I want to apply for some PD. Part of which I may/may not get. So I would rather apply for just this bit at first. As if I apply for all my desired (quite substantial) I think there will be greater scrutiny as they will look to reject the CoL.

They can set new conditions as part of any new permission.

You can apply for planning permission for more than one thing, and as long as there are no conditions that conflict you can implement them both as long as you start it within 3 years. Certificate of lawfulness just confirms that it's within PD at that time, so they can't really retract it. But unless you do the PD first it might not be PD any more after the extension, so you might have to choose one or the other. Hope that helps!
There are also issues where only some conditions can be enforced (eg they can say you have to demolish your garage before you start the extension, but if they just say you need to demolish the garage, then you never need get to that part)
But if you're getting to those tricks you'll need advice.

withdrawl of permitted development, is usually a condition of a granted permission to prevent what the planners consider overdevelopment.
You don't need to apply for PD it is either PD or not, a CoL just confirms that to you in writing.
If you build something that is PD then if you make a planning application, the PD may be taken into account when deciding on that.
If you build something with PP then it's most likely that that will have used you PD rights up anyway.
Whilst the recent changes to PD have granted some easements, there has been a tightening of the loopholes surrounding this, for example where someone applies for PP then carries out a PD before carrying out the PP.
If a planning application is approved with the condition of the removal of PD then it doesn't mean you don't have any PD rights, they still remain in place until you carry out the PP works, so you could get PP for an extension and then if you change your mind , build something else under PD
What are you intending to do.

A previous owner made Planning Apps (now lapsed) in 2004 & 2008, in which the officer did not consider a previous 1960's (2nd storey) addition as relevant, and (as far as I can tell) included this old extension as part of the 'original dwelling'. [A further 1970's single storey addition was included as existing but not original]

It would help me for the 60's extension to be regarded as Original, and given they have done so twice in the past I thought they might do so again. My strategy was therefore:

1. Apply for PD for 2-storey (3m) rear extension. Relies on accepting 1960's extension as original. See if granted.
2. Apply for PD for 2x side extensions (left & right).

[done in 2 tranches as instinct makes me wary that if I apply for lots of PD they will scrutinise it more thoroughly to look for reasons to reject]

3. Apply for PP for 2-storey (4m) rear extension with some horse trading of side extensions so overall Sq Ft is not increased.

But as I said previously you don't need to apply for PD if you are sure it is. The issue you will probably have though is that the 1960s addition will now be taken into account

I am not sure, but am hopeful that on first sight, the council will consider it PD, so want to 'bank' it as PD.
Then apply for other bits that I am sure are PD (but want the council to acknowledge).
Before applying for PP to modify the PD to a better design (extend further at rear, but less at sides, but keep overall Sq Ft similar).
