IMPORTANT NOTICE TO HOMEOWNERS
Failure to secure the necessary approved documentation outlined by the local authority, such as a Certificate of Lawfulness or Planning Permission, poses a potential risk of violating Planning Control regulations. No design is immune to scrutiny and necessitates the council’s paid services for a thorough examination of the proposal, resulting in the issuance of a Certificate of Approval based on the council’s specified and interpreted criteria.
EXAMPLE 3. SIDE DORMER DESIGN
Application Type: CERTIFICATE OF LAWFULNESS
Description: Loft Conversion with roof alteration fronting a side Highway
Set Duration: 8-Weeks for PD Decision
Application Fee: £103 Certificate of Lawfulness
FINAL DECISION: REFUSED
The proposed dormer, due to its design, falls short of complying with the GPDO order. Specifically, any portion of the dwellinghouse resulting from the proposed works would extend beyond the plane of an existing roof slope, constituting the principal elevation of the dwellinghouse that faces a highway. Consequently, dormer windows integrated into a loft conversion or any roof space enlargement do not qualify as permitted development on a principal elevation facing a highway. As a result, an application for planning permission will be necessary.

Description: Loft Conversion with roof alteration fronting a side Highway
Set Duration: 8-Weeks for Decision
Application Fee: £206
FINAL DECISION: APPROVED
NAVIGATING THIS BUREAUCRATIC MAZE IS OUR CHALLENGE—WE MUST MASTER THE INTRICACIES TO SECURE THE OUTCOMES YOU DESIRE. IN SOME COUNCILS, THE ABSENCE OF A PRE-APPLICATION ADVICE MEETING CAN LEAD TO AN UNFORTUNATE OUTCOME, WITH NO OPPORTUNITY FOR MODIFICATIONS AND AN ABRUPT REFUSAL, LACKING PRIOR NOTICE OR COMMUNICATION.
EACH BOROUGH COUNCIL CONSTANTLY MODIFIES REGULATIONS, WITH DISTINCT GUIDELINES VARYING ACROSS BOROUGHS. THEIR INTERPRETATION OF GOVERNMENT PLANNING LAW DIFFERS SIGNIFICANTLY.
FOR ALL PERMITTED DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS, APPLICATION IS REQUIRED TO OBTAIN A VALID CERTIFICATE OF LAWFULNESS BEFORE INITIATING BUILDING WORKS.
Kindly be aware that selecting a planning design will necessitate additional building regulation drawings, incurring a separate fee for the drawing upgrade.
Every project we undertake begins anew, ensuring that each new job is meticulously designed with care and expertise to achieve 100% satisfaction.
