    The border with Waverley B.C. must be very close to you. Lucky in some way I would suggest.

    I know of your architect as I’m very local. Even professionals can get the interpretation of the rules wrong. However, I am quite surprised at the oversight because it is quite clear that there are side walls to which the basis of the CoL application was refused on.
  3. DevilDamo
    Submit a CoL application showing what you can do under PD and then go in for a HH application for what you’ve just had refused. This ‘may’ show the impact via PD is worse and you could also offer them withdrawal of your PD rights, which together may be seen as Very Special Circumstances.
  4. DevilDamo
    The benefit is that it could save you time and money if/when you come to sell. The LPA cannot add conditions or further restrictions on CoL applications.

    “Can they try and inject an S106 into a Certificate of Lawfulness app?” No. “And does a change of use app from outbuilding to dwelling entail a fresh/full app or can that be done under S73 too?” A change of use will require a Full application.
  7. DevilDamo
    It refers to “any” boundary, so your proposals would not constitute PD.
  8. DevilDamo
    Yes, a MMA/S73/VoC application is what should have been submitted. You want to vary the condition that relates to the approved drawings, normally no. 2 or no. 3. This type of application would not give the LPA consent to add anymore conditions. That could only be done via a revised/new Full application.

    You’ve already spent £50k on consultant fees for something that has not yet received Planning? ?
  10. DevilDamo
    Who advised you increasing the size of a structure/building would constitute a NMA?

    The OP is referring to the Appeal process, not LPA decisions. @Claire B You haven’t received any correspondence from the Planning Inspectorate within the last 7mths? I submitted a (Householder) appeal in September and it was formally acknowledged approx. two weeks later. I don’t ‘think’ we’ve been allocated an Inspector yet but was expecting that to take a few months anyway.

    1m is common but LPA’s have their own polices and guidance.

    Flat roofs on the front of properties are not attractive at the best of times, let alone one that is raised against one at its standard height. I do think a lean-to pitched roof is a lot more likely to be favoured. No harm in trying? Can’t find an example of a pitched roof next to a flat roof at the mo but food for thought… before and after. The latter being a lot more appealing.
  15. DevilDamo
    As a result of it being on the front of the dwelling, you cannot raise (or alter) the roof via PD. So your only option is to meet the LPA’s policies and concerns. Could you not get a lean-to pitched roof to work as the LPA should be more favourable towards that as opposed to a raised flat top?

    If any works are carried out without the relevant approvals, then that will of course open you up to issues in the future, especially the health and safety of those that reside and use dwellings. Say goodbye to any sort of insurances should the worst happen.
  17. DevilDamo
    Only those BR’s that apply to what you’re carrying out. The BR’s that relate to heights of sockets, switches, etc… do not apply to extensions.
  18. DevilDamo
    Until there is a fire.
  19. DevilDamo
    But that’s an extension where the specific rules do not apply?
  20. DevilDamo
    A loft conversion within Article 2(3) designated land that does ‘not’ include a dormer would not require Planning. In re-locating the stair would tigger BR’s for the complete works.
  21. DevilDamo
    Proposed works should be dimensioned, in both plan and elevation. Depending on your LPA’s validation list, they may also require dimension site or block plan drawings. If you have seen recently validated applications online, use those as a guide. When Planning get round to formally validating the application, they will get back to you should they require any further information. Btw, are you going to the Permitted Development/Lawful Development Certificate or Householder application route?
  22. DevilDamo
    You must prove the the time limits have been exceeded. This might be rental agreements, council tax, invoices from the works, dated photographs, leases, electoral roll, utility bills, accounts, etc… Obviously, the more evidence you have the better. Historical maps via Google Earth in my opinion should be good enough.
  23. DevilDamo
    https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/43/outbuildings If the outbuilding complies with all of the above, then you could claim it’s lawful on the basis of complying with PD. Otherwise, claim it’s lawful on the basis of it being completed for at least four years of which you would need to provide evidence.
  24. DevilDamo
    Householder Planning is £206.00 and a LDC application is 50% of that if applied for prior to the works starting.
  25. DevilDamo
    You can have a staggered principal elevation line as per Page 15 of the Technical Guidance. Looking at it again, the LPA may take a view on how the resulting extension would constitute PD and a side extension as shown may appear to meet the PD criteria. I’ve had experience before where the LPA’s pre-application advice stated that if I was to connect a garage to a house, it would not be deemed as PD. Can’t remember the reasons at present and would have to look back on file.
