I didnt come here looking for a rubber stamp - why would I do that in an online forum who have no jurisdiction or influence on my application? As i said in my orignal post what's the chances of getting a further inspection from the case officer after consultation has finished? I was just trying to get some insight from the forum thats all.

I've looked thru the local planning portal for similar builds in our road and can't see any mentions of any watch out pre commencent condtions - they've all been approved with minimal comments such as: The development hereby permitted shall be constructed entirely of the materials details of which are shown on plan. Floor levels within the proposed garage shall be set no lower than the finished floor levels in the existing dwelling. The fencing for the protection of the protected trees on adjacent land shall be maintained on site in accordance with the Tree Protection Plan. All of this is part of our plan and is documented in our thorough access statment. Its squeaky clean. Like i mentioned I'm 100% confident after four similar extensions have been passed in the last year. Inc one that had a major front extension and roof work as well.

'The bco is not the planner but, if i remember correctly, they would send a notice to the planners'. Thanks this is the kind of insight I'm looking for.

My Indy BC have been informed after we put the stops on the permitted development extension and they just said, no problem at all & to call them when the foundations were dug out and ready for inspection before the pour. The planning I applied for has now finished consultation - today in fact.

I get that - and thats a call only i can make after weighing things up. The planning will get thru, there's been loads of simliar deevlopments in our road over the past few years and mine you cant even see from the front of the property & there are no restrictions or covenants or anything. I'm just thinking about getting ahead of the game a few vital weeks for a build that will be definitely passed without issue.

I thought BC don't come round until I tell them the footings are dug and ready for inspection - I used an independent and paid up front when we were working under permitted but didn't get to footings stage. I told them there was a pause and they were fine just said give us a call when you are ready.

Hi all, so after making a mistake on permitted development and making a start (turned out less than half a meter was not under permitted) we put in for full planning. We had already dug a quarter of the foundation trench, demolished a conservatory and a lean to under the permitted bit but now really keen to get going before the weather is against us - my son has bad asthma so wanted to get water tight before end of the year which we would of easily achieved under permitted. Both of our neighbours have offically supported the plans on the portal - what's the chances of getting a further inspection from the case officer after consultation has finished? Our 8 week average window would mean final approval wouldn't come till mid December & my builders are good to go now. We've never done any building work like this before so I am totally green to the process. Cheers

We've just started today on the trench for a permitted development single story extension. And we've just come to the conclusion stupidly late that we should of applied for planning and gone for 5 metres instead of confining oursleves to the permitted 4. This would negate a lot of steel & pillars to create a recess to enable us to have a bit more room in the kitchen. But we don't want to hold up works now - so are having a sleepless night about whether to revert back to 4 metres or apply for retrospective permission when its all done. Or indeed just keep our heads down & come up for air in 10 years when we are clear of restrictions. Not sure what the implications would be when we sell and move on though. We are not overlooked, so wont affect neighbours (one is a massive tool BTW) And we have trees on his side approx 14 ft tall. Totally new to all of this so any thoughts very welcome!
