  1. We had planning approval for an initial set of drawings but didn't move forward with that as we felt we're not getting enough space for the amount we'll be paying for the build. So a few years later, while the other plan is still not lapsed, we got another set of plans drawn which isn't different from the initial plan and that was approved as well.
  2. I might be really just clutching at straws here, I think the most viable solution for us at this stage is a retrospective planning application which would delay the project by 2 months and hopefully doesn't get refused.
  3. It says 1:100@A4 but there's also a note in the drawing which says 'do not scale from drawing' ? Within the plans there are abbreviations, FFL (I found it's finished floor line) then C.L. and I.L. which I found to be centerline and invert line respectively. I'm guessing the center line (with a value) gives the starting point for measurement?
  4. I'm having a problem with a current extension we're doing as we went further (less than a meter) beyond what's stipulated in the approved plan. Obviously neighbour complained so council came with a tape measure. The council send a warning letter (not yet an enforcement notice) saying we should alter it in accordance to the plan or submit a retrospective pp. We've already built quite substantially and altering would mean digging up foundation and walls, removing, resizing then refitting metal roof frame which amounts to almost demolishing the entire build. I am very much in despair then suddenly realised that I actually have two approved planning permissions where the plans look identical except for a couple of doors turned to windows (but same opening positions) and Veluxes in the roof. Both plans (submitted and approved in different years) were approved with the condition that works had to be carried out in complete compliance of the plans and specs however, the first plan doesn't have any measurements in the drawing whereas the second plan which we're currently using, has. Can we revert back to the original approved plans without specific measurements? I've read a few legal cases online but they refer to commercial development than residential. Has anyone here has similar experience to ours? Any advise ? Many thanks.
