Hi all,

I am looking to build an extension to the side return at the rear of my terraced property.

I have had conflicting information re which route I should take, l obviously don’t want the expense of full planning permission when 42 day prior approval will be adequate. Please advise

 

6mx2.4m extension to rear side return

 

Flat roof 3m tall at the eaves. Warm roof construction with large skylight.

 

Overall height 3.2m including parapet.

 

300mm insulated cavity wall replacing the existing dividing wall between my neighbour. Party wall agreement in place. 
 

 

 

I believe 42 day prior approval is adequate am I missing something. Happy to provide any info I might have missed

 

Thank you in advance

Karl

 

 

 

 

If all conditions of Prior Approval are met then go for that. Lower application fee and you only need to provide a location and block plan for the applicaiton along with a description so no drawings required. As long as none of your adjoining neighbours object then the council should pass the application as no prior approval required. But if you anticipate that neighbours will object then providing drawings would be ideal so the council can assess the impact on neighbours when granting or refusing prior approval.
