Why we don't Guarantee Planning Approval
Local authorities decide on planning policies in their area based on
legislation and consultation with interested parties
They delegate the interpretation of that policies to a planning
officer or committee
If you are refused planning permission you can appeal to the secretary of
state
Planning is a bit like driving , everyone has an
opinion
Neighbours given opportunity to
give their opinion on your
proposed extension
Local authorities have a residential design guidance
policies
They have a local plan policies
Special considerations apply if any
of these apply to your dwelling
You May live in a Listed Building
You may live in the green
belt
You May live in a Conservation Area
You May live in a Area of outstanding natural beauty
You May live in an area where article 4 has been implemented
restricting certain permitted development rights
You may live in a house that has had restrictive covenants
Things to consider
Will the extension dominate
Will the extension blend with the existing
Try to keep the same horizontal and vertical emphasis
Do the windows match
Are the materials for the new build similar to the
existing
My first impression if I was buying this house with this
extension
What would the extension look like from my neighbours
property
Will you affect your neighbour
right to light
Have you let your lender know of your proposal
