Which planning permission eligible from?

[Andehh]

We received planning permission for an extension, and started ordering materials. It then turned out to be cheaper to do a knock down & rebuild....for which the planning permission was granted for this.

 

However, we ordered materials before the ''rebuild '' planning came through..... but then used them for the new build itself.

 

How would we approach this for VAT reclaim? Submit it all with a covering letter detailing it all out, or are we out of luck? 

 

Thanks

I believe it’s only from the start date submitted after building warrant granted that you can claim from so you won’t be able to claim anything back from a planning permission date .

I'm afraid I agree. 

 

I recall a case where PP for a granny annex was granted. VAT on materials for this cannot be reclaimed as its not considered a seperate dwelling. Work started. Then the planning condition precluding separate occupation was removed meaning the annex could now be sold as a seperate house. 

 

HMRC argued that only materials purchased after the planning condition was removed could be reclaimed.

Sorry bit of a hi-jack question, I have householder planning granted for a bungalow to house conversion, but it's looking like it's going to be cheaper and easier to rebuild the house. Did you have to do a full planning app again? Did you just resubmit your drawings as a full planning app?

You will need planning permission for a "knock down and rebuild". Don't demolish before getting that. Likewise formally claim and be granted the CIL exemption if that exists in your area.

Thanks temp, is that different from a full planning app or the same thing?

Went for full planning with slightly modified designs to our extension + existing refurbishment, so materially the 'same'. We kept nigh on the identical floor plan, styling etc just made a roof Mono pitch to compliment the extension's. 

 

No issues from planning.
