Count yourself lucky the fee is per application and not per condition. The LPA still have to carry out consultations and the fee you pay nowhere near covers their fees in processing the application. And… you could have challenged to remove said conditions if you felt the information had already been provided.

Why didn’t you submit the NMA application as I thought that is what you are/were doing to save costs? Just submit the one VoC that covers all items.

Two things… - What made you think those changes would be considered as minor amendments? - Your LPA must be going through a very quiet phase if they’re turning around NMA applications within 2 days. Just submit a Variation of Condition application and deal with all the changes in one go.

Are there any previous PD restrictions which relate to the outbuilding? If not, then providing you meet the PD requirements, then nothing to do with Planning. It would require Building Regulations.

But you are also assuming the gable is a projection where it could be and may well be on a flat elevation. Remember OS maps are not 100% accurate.

Yes you are. The OS map shows the approx. outline of the existing house. The south-west wall is the front elevation which comprises the front gable on the photo. The rectangle behind the house is or was an outbuilding. But we don’t have a photo of that (which isn’t really relevant anyway). The OP is proposing to erecting an outbuilding to the front (small office/gym) and another outbuilding to the rear (double garage).

What are you asking… if it’s PD or would Planning be refused?

🤔

It does not seem a huge increase, so you can only try.

How much more do you want to raise the current approval by?

The bottom line is you build in accordance with the approved drawings.

Hopefully, that does work out for you as it doesn’t always help or ends up being more cost effective with a lot of construction professionals.

So are you a qualified and accredited SAP assesor?

Yep and the same LPA I was referring to also charges fees for incorrectly submitted applications. So if you were missing a particular drawing, detail or document. But it’s funny you don’t get rewarded for correctly submitted applications or when the LPA make a mistake 🙄

Maybe only with some LPA’s. One of mine charges a minimum fee of £50.00 fee to receive an application outside of the Planning Portal.

You had submitted a Householder application in relation to a new build!?! 🤔

The application fee is £298.00 plus the PP service charge fee of £85.00. So you should have paid £383.00 in total. So how have you managed to pay £297.00 in total?

Btw, the PP service charge fee for Planning applications was first introduced in 2018. So for those who deal with PP submissions, it would not be a shock to them. And plus, you would have known about an additional fee when your Planning application was submitted.

How can you underpay? The PP include the service charge fee when you make the payment online or via BACS.

Assume she has served you with a Party Wall Notice or Award?

LPA’s have their own rules/guidance as to what would be deemed as a material amendment. Submit a NMA in the first instance to find out.

In having a main contractor, you would let them take care of the whole process and ordering. They may in the first instance allow a provisional sum for those items and provide you with their recommended or suggested suppliers.

It varies… office or home based. I haven’t come across any of my PO’s that will not visit their sites prior to putting forward their recommendation.

Based as in where they live?

It differs. Refer to your Highway Authority’s requirements.
