LiamJones Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 How would one go about changing a planning application yet to be determined from a Reno to a demolish and rebuild. Would you wait for the current plans to be approved, then make a new app? Would the answer be any different if the design was identical? I’m worried it’s going to take a load more time!

Dave Jones Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 may be worth letting the current application carry on, if the design is close to what the rebuild will be it will then be hard to refuse your full application if the reno is approved. I'd wait until it completes then bang in full plans. You will need a lot more paperwork SAP calcs etc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamJones Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 Do I definitely need full plans? I recently saw a a demo and rebuild as a householder app that got approved in my district! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Personally I would go full plans, I don’t like building notice, I always want to know from the start what has been agreed so no arguments half way through the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah sorry, I’ve got my wires crossed. I was talking about planning permission as a householder app rather than full planning. Building Control id go full plans regardless, it’s actually cheaper in my area than notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Ambrose Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 >>> Would you wait for the current plans to be approved, then make a new app?

Also the answer might change if they think they might approve or refuse the original application. Planning approval is really about the eternal look and feel, size, style etc so if the rebuild is going to look the same as the renovation then pretty much the same plans will be involved. You don't say how much longer you expect it to take for your original application to get a result - that would be an important factor, of course. If you're 100% decided to do the rebuild and you only just submitted the original application, then you might as well submit a new application in parallel. They run independently - at least in principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plancheck for us is a minimum of 6 weeks to turn around by LA building control so went with warrent instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently saw a a demo and rebuild as a householder app that got approved in my district! Was it a complete demolition and re-build or were a few walls shown to be retained and then extended upon? A new build requires a Full application. Even some substantial re-development works require a Full as opposed to a Householder application.
