Planning Permission To Move Front Door
Hi Guys
I am just about to start an extension and have planning permission etc granted. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I need to move the front door on the new part of the extension to the left about 500mm. This will place it off centre in the extended part. I have been trying to get hold of the planning Officer today to ask him whether I need his permission to do so, but he has been in meetings all day and the receptionist was not being very helpful As this is such an excellent group, I was wondering what the general concensus is?! I realise that what the Planning Officer says will be the final word, but wanted someone to help me relax as i am a bit worried that they will want plans resubmitted etc etc etc. My house is not protected and I am not in a conservation area. What do you think?? Thanks Chris |

Planning Permission To Move Front Door
probably not but you really would be best to wait in case there is some
peculiar reason that would prevent it being acceptable. -- gee six jay en Replace the words with the numbers |

What do you think?? Thanks Chris I did something something similar with my extension, when I decided to put a french window in a position shown on the plans as an ordinary window, and vice versa - after the plans had been passed. When I spoke to the Planning Officer, he advised me to submit an amendment - simply by writing a letter and sending 2 copies (rather than the original 5 or whatever it was) of any drawings which had changed. I received a reply confirming that the amendment was acceptable - with no extra fees. AIUI, this is at the discretion of the Planning Officer who has to make a decision whether an amendment is minor - and can be dealt with in this way - or is significant, and needs the whole lot to be re-submitted, and a new lot of fees to be paid. I would imagine your door move could be treated as a minor amendment - but you will need to get it approved one way or another, otherwise what you are building won't match the approved plans. -- Cheers, Set Square ______ Please reply to newsgroup.
