I know this thread is fairly old now. But I just wanted to update, for anyone who may find it useful. Lawful development certificate went in just over 12 days ago. The case officer has indicated that that it will be refused; "curtilage listing of the application site and the fact that the...

I have to admit this withdrawal of permitted development only came to light in the last couple of days! So much for paying a consultant to look into all these matters. I seem to have done the majority of the leg work myself! :rolleyes: I agree with you Nakajo, our Planning consultant is adamant...

Apologies for the multiple posts. Nakajo, in the original decision notice for the entire development PD was revoked. Or certainly thats what we've assumed from the following; "Notwithstanding the provision of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (or any...

Jeds, the land was never a garden in the first place. What is now a garden was a farm yard. And the proposed location had a large agricultural storage shed up until 4 years ago and the barns themselves have only been in use as domestic dwellings since early 2013.

Sorry for the late reply, we really are just trying to nail down our next step. And yes, it seems it will involve a new Porsche and unfortunately it won't be mine! I won't pretend to know anything about planning so i'll copy and paste refusal that we had. If I'm being perfectly honest, the...

I've seriously thought about it PTS2. But i think they're more on the NIMBY mentality. They did however, manage to accost the planning officer whilst on site, which no doubt resulted in some major discussions against our application. One has gone as far as attempting to get the council to...

The development is a cluster of barns which are curtilage listed due to the fact they are considered part of the main manor house which is Grade 2 listed. Now these were once cattle sheds, not buildings of any historical significance. The barns were then sold off to a developer back in 2010, I...

Luke, Specifically designated area; No, not that i know of. Unless being within the curtilage of a grade 2 listed building would fall under this? The manor house is again at least 200m south of the proposed site and we have another building in between us. Barn conversion, we're curtilage listed...

As far as i can see its LDC is a waste of time if the case officer is going to refuse it anyway. If we can argue the curtilage listing issue then at least we have a standing chance of getting this through. Consider moving? I guess its an option but theres nothing else in the village thats a...

I guess my main issue with that there no logic to their argument. Why grant permission to convert the buildings in the first place? Other additions to the development were made to increase the footprint of our neighbours house. They're happy to use repeatedly use and refer to this 'paddock land'...

Nakajo, I've got no idea. I assumed its because of the rural location. Beyond our garden its open farm land.

I've already got a planning consultant on board. The advice so far is to go with a Lawful development cert. to get clarification on a) the curtilage issue. (there's case law arguing that once agricultural buildings are converted into resi, they then have their own curtilage and shouldn't be...

Need advise…We're in a semi rural location. Houses up and down the lane have had outbuildings and extensions built. We're proposing to build a garage and office in our garden which so far had been refused. Two neighbours objected. Council indicate its unlikely to be approved because of the...
