Planning permission squashed our projected bay window
Comments (6)Yes, you can appeal to the Planning Consulate / Secretary of State. However, I'm a bit confused by your statement of PP being put on hold. The local planning authority have to make a decision in writing, if PP is granted or refused. Do you have the decision letter? Or is it a case of the planning officer having reservations before the decision due date? If you have the decision letter it should provide guidance on how to complete the appeal process or google the Planning Portal and read up on the process there. To complete a successful appeal you will need a well reasoned and justified document / statement describing why the refusal is unsuitable. You will need to refer to the relevant sections of local and national planning policy to back up your argument. You should also be able to obtain a copy of the planning officers report and use this to support your statement by finding errors / inappropriate judgements. Don't expect a quick response, about 3-4 months turnaround. You or your professional designer should be able to complete this for an extra fee or use a local, independent Planning Consultant to do it. They are ex-town planners so know the system etc. I wish you well and for a positive outcome....See Moreplanning permission on house conversion. Now or when I split titles..
Comments (3)You cannot do the necessary internal works ie drains, ceilings, moving or changing walls, electrics, some plumbing on a leasehold property without permission from the Freeholder, so No is the answer. You are very limited with what you can do to a Leasehold property. You are best to wait for the Freehold Title, meanwhile put in for your planning permission which will be given with ample time to carry out the said works after you get your Freehold. Remember that even though you have planning you still have to have Building Control notices for certain work too....See MoreWhat can we do while we wait for architectural drawings and tender?
Comments (7)hi Kat by the time you waiting for a planning and finalised drawings and you saying you sent your documents for planning its a right time to get estimate by the planning drawings till they turn up with a tender spec. if you have clear idea about what would you like to have maybe its better to skip the tender spec and make your own decisions as a guide for a builder to price. compare to a size of your project you can assume flexibility from a builder for certain changes during a time of a built. if you have existing bathrooms for example which were stay as its is with no layout changes (studwall movements) its a right time to start to rip them off and start to 1st fix them up also as you would have underfloor heating (not to sure if its piped system) builder can start to expose floors and insulate them through and make all pipework/electrics ready for a next phase which would be your loft and extension. if you issued your planning and you have structure engineer drawings on place too its a time think ahead if you need any party wall agreement on place you would need to start to work on it as it can slow the process of a build (or just propose it for your neighbours involced). other things as like find out main water pressure and main water upgrade is a right way too to start with as with that amount of upgrades old pipework might don't have enough pressure so good to submit applications for water authorities as nowadays it can takes up to 8-10 weeks too to have a main connection to be done....See MorePlanning Permission and fence.
Comments (1)Well as the garage conversion was all signed off a couple of weeks ago, there's still time to get another job completed before Christmas :) Planning permission applied for, and subsequently granted, for the 'forced' removal of these conifers, to be replaced by a fence. The work started Monday: and it took them no time at all to clear everything ............. at the end of Day 1 all dead trees cut down, roots removed. apparently we get a sun-rise as well which I've never seen from my front door. The start of Day 2 and they got cracking on the base-boards and panels and even with all of the awful weather when I got home they'd got on brilliantly and had got loads done There's 3 more panels to go in down the side out of view, then a 90 degree square-off that needs to be completed today, a bit of clearing up, then I think it's done. I'll sort out the old raised bit and stain the fence in the spring - no point in starting to do anything now in this weather. I'm thinking of building some sort of raised bed along the length of the fence, mainly to hide the concrete base-boards, then use some of the mud to fill them, get rid of the rest, then use some road-planings, or Type 1 MOT to fill it all in to make a temporary car-park/drive extension before concentrating on re-doing the driveway at a later date...See MoreJonathan
