I have a Cert Lawful Development on a Hip to Gable Loft extension approved by the council back in 2010.
For one reason or another (not entirely mine) it was not built to plan and is 2 sq mt larger than the 50 cu sq mts allowed under PD.
Looking at the conversion, it is the 'cheek wall' by the party wall that is the culprit, on similar developments in the road they are set back a bit further than mine - to look at its a small volume to consider (in my opinion)
I have spoken to the council and been told to resubmit a Full Planning Permission application.
Just wondered if anyone had similar experiences in gaining Planning Permission for something like this. It would seem disproportionate to not allow planning permission and make me move the Cheek wall in by say 300mm or so to satisy the PD's 50cu sq mt allowance.
It was 'substantially' complete over 4 years ago - could I not apply for a Certificate of Lawfullness - rather than go the Full Planning route.
