Commencement of PD works & change in regime

[cutmle]

Dear All,

 

My scheme consists of cladding (rendering) the front elevation of the property and a side extension under PD.

 

The LPA have subsequently enacted a Conservation Area, effectively removing the right to execute the works under PD.

 

However, I commenced the rendering works prior to the enactment of the Conservation Area so I am lawfully able to complete these.

 

Critically I see the scheme as a whole (i.e. rendering and side extension together) therefore as such I believe I am permitted to also lawfully construct the side extension in order to complete the scheme. 

 

I would appreciate any view you may have on my assertions.

For safety you could apply for a certificate of lawfulness on the grounds you started work before it became a conservation area. Include copies of any drawings and dated invoices you have.
