Superseded PP Scotland

[Mrs S]

We bought a plot with approved PP which we subsequently gained approval for a different design with a different approval number. Is the previous PP superseded by our newer application or can the older PP still be built? We are in Scotland, thanks

In England I think you could still build the original house if the PP hasn't expired. Not sure about Scotland.

AFAIK, planning permission lasts until it expires, even if there's a separate planning permission in place. After all, anybody can get planning permission for any piece of land (so long as they tell the owner they're applying for it); it'd be unreasonable if that cancelled some other permission the owner already had.

 

What I don't think you'd be allowed to do is mix, building bits of one permission and bits of the other even if you complied with all the conditions of both.
