Variation of condition mid build

[flanagaj]

Just after some thoughts on the above.  We are nearly at first floor level and have concluded that the proposed first floor rear windows that overlook a paddock and woodland (not visible otherwise) are too wide and we want to shrink the width from 1125 to 800 and also make the bathroom window which was 1125mm wide 800mm and full height like the other two windows.  I don't want to stop development and the net outcome is a slight reduction in the amount of glazing.   I am happy for the builders to continue as I don't see an issue and just wanted to ask whether I can submit the form and they carry on or do you have to cease construction until it's been decided?

That would like be a non-material change. Keep going and put the application in.

 

Just make sure you're ok regarding egress requirements under building control.

Unfortunately, due to the planning grant having a condition which states that the build must be carried out according to the submitted drawings.  So I don't think a non material amendment can be used.  Hence, the VoC.

Can you meet building regs for clear opening width with your proposed design at just 800 wide? Might not be a problem but check

They almost always put that condition. I would get the drawings ammended and try asking the planners what would be required. Send in enough copies.
