I have a client with whom I submitted a Planning Application for a Barn conversion which was subsequently approved. The existing barn had two run down lean-to's which were to be demolished and rebuilt with flat roofs.
Said client wants to change one of the flat roofs to a gable roof. So my question is not about the likelihood that he will get planning or not (he won't) but he seems to think that if he submits a new application within 12 months it will be fee exempt. Now my understanding is that you only get another another go (under the original fee) if the first app is refused.
I know the Planning Portal online submission does not allow for any such exemption and googling suggest the same. Though I did find this page on Cornwall's website (see last paragraph) http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/environm...ions-and-amendments-to-planning-applications/
He only rang me up Friday and I have not had time to speak with the LA in question yet but what's your opinions?
