Thanks both.

We submitted our planning application in December 2021, we gained permission with conditions about the windows in July 2022. We submitted an appeal relating to windows in September 2022, it was validated in December 2022, but no decision has been made. We need to order the windows, so submitted an approval of conditions form, this was returned by LPA as we have an appeal in. We called the planning inspectorate about the appeal last week and were advised it would not be looked at until at least September. We would now like to make one window bigger - how do I ask for permission? Is it an amendment? Which form, and where do I find it? and who should I ask? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi, Do I need to submit a section 73 form with samples of the materials to be used on the roof, walls and windows? We have full pp with conditions: Notwithstanding the submitted details, details of the materials to be used for the exterior cladding, the windows and roof lights to include profiles, materials and finishes shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to their installation. The works shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details. For the avoidance of doubt uPVC is not an acceptable material for the windows. The approved drawings include the following: EXTERNAL MATERIALS / FINISHES FOR THE PROJECT ROOF: Slate / Single ply to flat WALLS: Render and cladding. DOORS/WINDOWS: Aluminium / upvc to match existing RAINWATER: P.V.C. to match existing Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks, that looks great

Yes, open to all ideas at the moment - just trying to choose a path

Thanks all for the comments, I haven't spoken to planning yet - I want to get a reasonably clear idea of what I am going to ask before I introduce myself to them.

Thank you - I'll check them out

I'm currently researching Scotframe, will also look at Fleming Homes - if anyone has a recommendation for a factory built home please let me know.

I'm in East Devon, we relocated here from Exeter a couple of years ago and have been living here to see which rooms get the best light etc. I'm not so worried about appearance of bungalow - my current consideration is to knock it down and replace it with a kit home in order to get a toasty warm house and to keep more control of costs. You are quite right though, that direction may change and I may well extend rather than replace.

I am excited about changing my bungalow into something really awesome, but it takes me an awfully long time to make a decision as I have to research until I understand it enough (much to the annoyance of those around me). I have joined the forum to try and learn from others, so thank you to those who are further down the journey, I appreciate you posting the challenges you are facing and your successes as it will hopefully help me to progress with my eyes a little more open than they are now – I will try and do the same and share interesting things that crop up along the way… although I am not quite ready to start yet J
