Stumpie

It is a semi and no, we can't do it through permitted development as I believe we used all our entitlement up for that when we doubled the size of our house 4 years ago.

That's what I was struggling with.

I'd never thought about it like that. I guess the point is to make it easy for them to approve it. I can do paper/pencil drawings rather than have the architect draw it. If it's for additional information then I think that should be acceptable. That way I can also reference photos that would be take from specific angles and show those angles on the drawings. That way they can see the property without having to visit the site. Thanks.

So if I were to do a site plan that showed existing windows of my property and my immediate neighbours and the proposed. Have you heard of this being requested in the past? And would you have an example of it?

Really? Is that something new in the last 4 years that you are aware of? So it's literally just the site plan showing windows on my neighbours properties? I didn't have not do this when we doubled the size of the house! Would I show fences that separate the properties as well? I only ask as you can't see the modifications the ground floor from the ground floor of my neighbours? And one last thing, you wouldn't have an example of a site plan showing windows etc? And thanks again

Hi Guys, I wanted to try for planning myself. I did a larger project a few years back where the architect did it all, but this is a smaller project so I was hoping to do a little more myself. Anyway... I got my plans together and used planningportal.com to submit my application to the local authority. The confirmed receipt inside of 24 hours and rejected it citing 3 errors in my application - two of them were my own stupid fault and I corrected them. The third has me a little confused... This is a very small extension to the rear of my property. I'm basically squaring an L-shaped room off for a new kitchen. It's a ground floor. So getting to the point, they've asked me to indicate neighbours windows on the existing and proposed plans I've submitted. I've googled about and can't find any example of what they are asking me for. I called and a planning administrator wasn't sure what they wanted either? I've emailed the planning department for a little clarification but I thought I would ask here as well. Thanks in advance 11 Garth Road - Proposed.pdf 11 Garth Road - Existing.pdf

Wanted to say hello. I've just started a small project to extend the rear of my home to enlarge the kitchen. I did the plans and then had a guy from People Per Hour produce them properly for me along with structural engineers bits (very quick and cost effective!). Also used Planning Portal to submit my application to the local authority... I'll ask a question elsewhere on that! Anyway, thanks :)
