Hello
We are having a bit of a problem with planning permission and would like some advice.
We have a kitchen extension planning permission approval and we recently completed the built.
The problem we have now is we had a garage which was an existing built from previous owner and once the kitchen extension was completed there was about a 30cm gap between the kitchen extension and the garage. Our intention was always that we could join up the garage to make it easier for storage.
Anyhow, when we spoke to the architect originally before the kitchen extension was built we wondered if it would cause a problem with planning permission, as it was an existing building he said it probably won't.
However, I think our neighbour who has always objected to our kitchen extension wrote another complain saying we are building an extension onto an extension.
So the other day the planning officer came round and explained because it is now attached to the kitchen extension it is classed with the kitchen extension as he said we are still finishing off the rendering of the kitchen extension and rebuild of the garage together.
But before we demolished the garage we had the kitchen extension approved already, although the finish rendering wasn't completed(the final coat), I did asked if it's ok when I had our planning officer who came round to do the final inspection he said it was fine and they said as long as it doesn't show the mental of frames etc of the doors it's fine. So the kitchen extension was completed and we have the certificate to prove it. We wait a couple of weeks before the demolishing commenced.
The planning officer from the council who came round seems quite nice, as he says it does make sense to join it up as from the plan he saw it was really only a small gap. And if it wasn't attached to the building it will be classed under permitted build, but he says because we were doing the kitchen extension and finishing the rendering off it can't be classed separately.
My questions is what happens if retrospect application is rejected. What will happen to the building. Can they order us to demolish it?
Thank you in advance.
