I was told that as I hadn't completed my work within the stipulated
five years (as it was then) I had to re-apply.

Very odd. Planning permission usually stipulates starting within 4
years, but does not stipulate a finish date - hence occassional stories
of neighbours fed up of ongoing work lasting a decade or more.

When I built my house several years back they give me a must finish by
date. I cant remember how long it was though but it wasnt excessive, and
they did check the final build to make sure it complied with regs and
the plans.
