Change to plan after approval?

Hi people. 

 

We're in Wiltshire, had our planning approved late 2024. Timber clad extension attached to painted stone cottage. 

 

Planners insisted on a level of render to the base of the ground floor windows. Still not sure why this was a necessity.. We would love timber cladding all the way down. Simpler, neater, lots of reasons. 

 

Is there a process to try again, stating that only a small percentage of the total walls are visible from the street, there's no render on the original property whatsoever, and there is a building up the road that has a floor to roof timber clad extension? (Screenshot of plan, and said building up the road for context).

 

Thanks in advance.

Aye - it's the only full height timber building within a few streets, so might use it as an example if it comes to it. 

 

I don't really dislike the render option that's been approved, it just doesn't seem necessary and I'd rather one material. At worst we just do that when it comes to it!

Non material amendment. Quick and cheap. We did it on ours to remove some timber cladding for brick instead. Stated that due to timber availability and pricing the materials need amending for economic and construction reasons. 
 

We then did another non material amendment to remove some decorative dormer peaks. Stated that they couldn’t be constructed and roof leaded correctly.
