    I'm not sure but I don't think you can. I think you have to have built up to wallplate level before the 5 years are up, otherwise your planning is gone.

    However, applying for permission again should be pretty easy and less costly as you can argue that the same design had previously been granted permission. Your architect or whoever should still have a copy of the drawings on file, so it shouldn't be all that difficult.

    Not always the case..if the County/City/Town Development Plan has changed since the last application then policy's regarding housing in certain areas may have changed, cryteria for housing needs may have changed, and technical aspects most certainly will have altered, eg., sight lines, seperation distances, etc. And chances are the development plan will have changed by the time the planning runs out as the average plan only lasts 5 or 6 years.

    Good point well made. I didn't think of that. I suppose it depends where you're building, what you're building etc

    Yes it does, but then there is nothing stopping the OP applying for a new planning permission right now. If it comes through then the 5 years starts from here and gives more time to get the house to wall plate level. If it doesn't come through then the OP knows where he stands with the current planning permission. Also I'm sure in the two years there are some changes the OP would like to make which can be incorporated in any new application. Also it's an extra bit of work generated for the profession...:) winners all around if it works.

    I suppose it's not a bad idea, hopefully i might get it again!! I wonder what are my chances??

    If i was to alter the design slightly when applying again would i be shooting myself in the foot??

    absolutely not... you would actually be helping yourself by maybe, say, making the proposal smaller or more compact.... you can argue the point that due to the current economic climate you cannot get teh funding to build the first proposal....

    but remember that the point uncle tom made is very valid.. policies may have changed (actually, your almost guaranteed that they have) so being granted permission may have become a lot harder...
