Alan Ambrose Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I was just reading this bit here about PD addition of extra floors ('class AA'): https://www.planningaid.co.uk/hc/en-us/articles/360012081098-Extending-upwards-building-additional-storeys It talks about "Prior Approval of the Local Planning Authority on matters including external appearance and the potential impact of the extension on the amenity of neighbours (including overlooking and loss of daylight/sunlight)". That sounds a lot like householder planning permission to me. Is there a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDamo Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Quite a lot different. For starters, a HH application would allow the homeowner to make additional changes of which the PA would not, e.g. changes to the new roof, windows in side elevations, enlarging non-original elements.

Alan Ambrose Posted October 22 Author Share Posted October 22 Ah, whereas the PA suggests adding one or two v similar floors to those existing and 'bumping the roof up' a storey or two? So, slightly less of a bar, but I guess the LPA could be equally as awkward if they didn't actually like the 2020 PD law much? In this (somewhat speculative) case, I was thinking I would want to do EWI also to bump up the insulation, which would presumably need a full application. Sounds like the PD law might be a useful fallback negotating point though to push a similar full application through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDamo Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 The PA route would not allow the installation of EWI. That would be formal Planning. The PA route can act as a fallback and even more so within the Green Belt where percentage uplifts are a major policy factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use the quote function instead of the Greater Than symbol, @DevilDamo will get a notification. Anyway, I think it is just how much you increase the floor space.

So having a PD fallback position can help in those situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
