There isn’t a set rule and is down to the discretion of the LPA. So you would need to put your question to them.

Surely your post can be summarised sowhat is the issue or what are you trying to achieve?

Not to mention the Planning application fees will be increasing from tomorrow.

What exactly are you asking… the Planning/Building Regulation rules or a site/plot that is big enough to accommodate such an outbuilding? If it’s the latter, this isn’t the right forum for you.

Never seen or needed it to be indicated. Can you not ask your agent/designer to indicate it for your benefit?

Us lot? The subject line and your opening post is where it all went wrong. The fact is you have chosen to start works prior to the Planning application being determined. You have been served enforcement action as a result of this. You have no option but to wait and work with your Local Planning Authority, in particular Planning Enforcement which is a part of “Planning” and not Building Control. On the basis Planning is granted, you can then re-commence the works. You then submit a Building Regulation application to Building Control for those works that are notifiable. End of.

@kandgmitchell And no matter how many times we told the OP it sounds like Planning, not Building Control… they then paste the contents of the email/letter that does not mention BC once. Gees, this was painful.

So it’s Planning… not Building Control 🙄

The difference with yours @joe90 is you were having to deal with Planning whereas the OP is having to deal with Building Control.

You do realise BC and Planning are completely different? Sorry, but your posts just don’t make logical sense atm. Can’t understand why BC are getting involved for something that may not require BR’s.

Is this outbuilding ancillary or within the curtilage of a dwelling? If so, select the first option and the fee will be £103.00 + £64.00.

I’m in agreement with @Mr Punter. Why does your retaining wall require Building Regulations, which has then resulted in Building Control telling you to stop works?

Building Control do not get involved in Planning so assume you meant you had a call from Planning telling you to stop works? The retaining wall needs/needed Planning. Was that drawn/detailed/mentioned on the Planning approval? The LPA wouldn’t tell you to stop works on something you have received approval for. Are there any pre-commencement/development conditions?

As per @Galileo’s link.

@saveasteading It has what? You cannot just apply for Planning on somebody else’s land without informing or notifying them. @Blooda Correct. You don’t need to “own” the land but you do need to service notice/notify those who do own it. The type of Certificate depends on the applicant knowing the names of the owners.

A VoC application would usually involve neighbours being notified along with a site notice being put up. However, the Certificate B element would actually only apply on a Full Planning application. You could just object once you see the notice or are alerted via the Planning alert (as Susie mentioned). Otherwise, if you just check the website weekly, that’ll be enough.

That has never been the case.

The applicant should sign Certificate B and serve notice on you. This is used where the applicant doesn’t own all the land the proposal relates to and knows the names of those other owners.

Didn’t you post and ask this on the FB group, Planning Geek?

You don’t “need” to submit a LDC application as it’s optional. My advice would be to submit a BR application, commence the works and arrange a BR inspection as soon as you can. It’s more to do with when you start the works, not complete them.

It would depend on the spans.

The “inspection” doesn’t have anything to do with Permitted Development rights. Inspections are carried out by Building Control and Permitted Development relates to Planning. Be careful with what you are proposing as the addition of a Bathroom is now venturing into self-contained territory. This would trigger both Planning and Building Regulations.

I better remove the kitchenette from my gym then as I don’t want Planning turning up and request that I submit a Planning application.

It wouldn’t be separate/self-contained as you need more than a kitchenette for that to work. If the OP was talking about having a bedroom/living area, shower room and kitchen(ette), then that may be a slightly different conversation. The garden room would also not be “primary living accommodation.” You do not require Planning to put a kitchenette into an outbuilding. I’m very aware of the TG. It’s a shame unofficial websites don’t read, copy and paste it correctly.

Planning for outbuildings to the side 🤔 Well that’s a new one. Again confirming that third party websites should not be relied upon.
