Securing planning permission

[Hazza24]

Hello!

I am looking to have a single storey rear extension built.

When we moved into the house (late 2017), there was an existing permission granted for this work however this lapsed in Jan 2019.

I’m tempted to resubmit the same plans back in a new application to seek a new permission.

Are there any issues with me doing this and any problems that anyone could potentially foresee?

Thanks

Only if the LA has changed their planning policy in the meantime. Unlikely but can happen.

Or if the neighbours have done work in the meantime, that the extension would impact.

That’s useful to know. Hard to know if the local council have changed requirements but certainly no other changes in neighbouring properties that might obviously impact.
Does anyone foresee issues with me re-using the same plans? Ie would the original architect have copy right etc?

It depends what’s stated on the drawings as to whether or not you require their consent to re-use and re-submit.
