Can we build the ground floor and then put a flat roof on it until we
have money to do the upper floor? Does anyone have experience of this?
Waste money on a temporary roof? Why not complete the brickwork and roof
and wait until you have more money to do the inside work?

I dont know for sure but there will probably be a time limit on what you
applied to do and doing just the gound floor (I think) would mean you
have failed to build what you applied to do and if you therefore go over
the time limit you may have to go through the planning process again.
One problem could be that each council has its own take on this it maybe
best to speak to them about it.
