I couldnt agree more, downstairs is amazing now I have opened it up. But upstairs I have one good rooms, an office and 2 small rooms.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it - I knew there was more too it, I just didnt know what to look for. It feels like they didnt get what they wanted an threw their toys out of the pram. So whats my next step? Do I need to make a full application? Or can I make a query or something?

Thanks for the info, this is all new to me. So I have managed to find the planning decisions. As I thought, from when I bought the house, the development was rejected. http://plantech.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/PLANTECH/DCWebPages/acolnetcgi.gov?ACTION=UNWRAP&RIPNAME=Root.PgeResultDetail&TheSystemkey=581876 I have also found the decision for the adjoining property which was allowed a year later. http://plantech.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/PLANTECH/DCWebPages/acolnetcgi.gov?ACTION=UNWRAP&RIPNAME=Root.PgeResultDetail&TheSystemkey=586389 Thoughts?

Hiya all I have a small 4 bed semi in a village just outside of Dunstable. Downstairs is amazing, upstairs space has been planned and used badly IMHO. Garage was converted prior to me moving in. Previous owners applied for PP to extend, but I believe this was rejected on the grounds it would resemble a terrace. What I can understand is after this the neighbours built the same extension which I don't understand. I plan to move in 4/5 so want to explore what I can do to purely add value. Likely above the old garage and or into the loft Are there any good resources\threads on here that could give me and introduction on the journey. Ta
