Thanks Temp, good idea on trying the planning app alongside the CLD.

Thanks Jay, yes the original house was built 1930’s but the previous extensions were in the 70’s so are not defined as the original house. Hence why we won’t be able to go planning application route.

Thanks James, I think the 50% rule applies to the curtilage of the house rather than the original dwelling. This won’t impact my proposed rear extension.

hi, We hope to add a rear kitchen extension (purple outline) to this 1930s property in a green belt and AONB area. We will have to use PD as the house has already extended, under planning, back in the 70s (green outline) and is at the 50% volume of original mark. Annoyingly the side extension goes past the original house by about 2m. This means if we attach the rear extension to the side extension it is classed a wraparound and we won’t be able to go full width of the original house (black outline). Q is to any experts out there, if I leave a small gap between the rear extension and the side can I go nearly full width rear extension? Or would we need to demolish part of the side extension back to the original rear building line?

Hello guys. Property new to me. rear extensions and renovation the key works to be done. All bathrooms to be modernised, will have to be done in 8 months if I’m to keep the Doris happy.
