commencement notice

chunkyboy

hi.. just got word today that our loan offer has finally been sent to out solicitor.. it's been a long wait!!
anyway... we have full planning permission for a 2 storey extension and a builder ready to start asap....
do we need to send in a commencement notice when it's an extension or is that only necessary for a new build??

If the extension was exempted from planning permission, the OP may not need a CN. Would that be correct?

You do not need to send in a commencement notice for works or a change of use which are exempted development under the planning code, and for which a Fire Safety Certificate is not required.

Sorry, just re-read the OP, you 100% need to lodge a CN as you applied for and received planning permission.
