  1. If you are happy with how it looks and its structurally fine I would go to the planning office and ask if they will sign off the change. If they do then your all good and covered if any neighbour complains If the planning office decline, then get the builder to rectify the issue. Its better than taking the risk and having to pay out of pocket to fix it
  2. Our neighbour was more personal and nocked on all the houses on our street to get them to object. Then they call family members who dont live on our street and asked them to also object. Got rather silly to be honest and the planning officer said it was very petty. He ignored them all as they were just 'i dont like' comments with no valid objection. We got ours approved
  3. So we put in a planning application to do a side extension on our property which included a hip to gable roof change. The street has already had a hip to gable change on others but they were detached while mine is a semi. We had a council member show interest and blocked the roof aspect after our none attached neighbour complained saying it didn't fit with street and would be dominating on their drive that sites between our two homes. So we were forced to change to a hipped roof to get approval. Due to the shape of the house this has increased our cost and time frame etc. It also now means we need to access neighbours property to maintain and we lose the ability to covert the attic at a latter date. We have not started our extension yet (start in 3 months) and we now find that the neighbour who objected and started the ball that got it blocked is having a hip to gable with Dormer roof conversion done on his building. Ignoring the fact there objection stated they felt it didnt fit with the street the other object was regarding it being dominating to there drive. There building sits about 50cm higher than ours so there Gable roof would be far more dominating but clearly this no longer bothers them. We dont care to stop them we just want our cheaper and smarter gable roof back. Since the council has now given them permission are we not able to request ours also be approved? Can we do an amendment? or change ours as permitted development also? Does anyone have any advice please?
