Hi Everyone
We're waiting on planning permission but we fear we may not get what we want. Basically we want a 2-storey side extension maintaining the same roof line as the existing roof over the side extension. We'd then build a hip to gable to do a loft conversion (separately under permitted development). It looks like the planner dealing with the application wants a smaller roof over the side extension ie not continue the existing roof line.
A builder we had round to quote said it was fine as after we get planning (but before he builds the smaller approved roof (ie while he's building the two storey side extension) we can submit for a hip to gable under permitted development and continue the existing roof line in that manner.
What we'd like to know is if this is possible/allowed? My understanding of the permitted development rules is that provided we meet the relevant criteria mainly regarding volume in the roof space (which we do) then we can build the planners proposed roof, remove it and build the gable wall. However I can't find any information on whether we can submit (and have approved) under permitted development a hip to gable before the "planners" roof is built. It would save a lot of money if we can do like the builder said so it would be great if any of you guys have ever seen this sort of thing before.
Thanks a lot for any advice!
