Planning Permission / Permitted Development, a question

[The Riviera Kid]

Hi folks, this is probably a daft question, but I'm curious so thought I'd ask anyway.

If planning permission was refused for something, can you just go ahead and build something smaller as a permitted development, or does the previous planning application impact on it in any way?

Just toying with the idea of something which is a shade bigger than a permitted development, but could be compromised (and thus redesigned to become a permitted development) as a last resort (if that makes sense).

A refused planning application has no bearing on the permitted development. If it falls within PD rules you can build it.

If it's permitted development, that's what it is, regardless of the fact planning permission has been refused for something else, as long as it is within the scope of permitted development, your okay. This can also, not fall under the remit of building controls, but that depends on what you are doing.
You can inform planning of your idea, and they will quite happily send you a letter saying your project falls within the PD guidelines, but they will want a fee.

First check & be sure your PD rights haven’t been withdrawn for whatever reason.

also remember its permitted development from the origional footprint[floor area] as built or as standing at 1948ish if older

Thanks folks, yeah it's a 1990 build end terrace/link in it's original state (including wood framed windows and nearly clapped out boiler lol). I'll check with the relevant planning/buildings control people nearer the time, but it's nice to be pre-armed with a clue what I'm talking about lol.

The association of Mortgage Lenders is recommending these days that even if you don't need Planning permission then you get a Certificate of Lawfulness, it helps out no end when you come to sell the property. Especially if a Planning application has been refused on one application. £75 well spent.
Cheers,

The trouble with that is though, is that you have to bascially put a full planning application together to support it ie plans, eles existing & proposed & loc plan so you're doing about 90% of a full application anyway!

Yes, agreed but you will need them for the Building Regulations application anyway. Better that than have a legal wrangle later on over whether it needed it, or not.

I'm not coming from a customer point of view though, I'm coming from a supplier of such applications point of view and if people do not (or will not ) see the benefit they will not pay for it. Unfortunately most people are very naive and think you're just trying to get extra cash out of them.

One can only advise. It's then up to the client to decide.

I, er, thought this site was for the customer.

We can all be pedantic.
