Want to change slightly from plans

Tyson Lannister

I was granted PP for an agricultural shed recently. I now want to raise the roof by 1 metre to comply with ag regs. Must I reapply for full PP again or is there any other route I could take? Nothing else would change.
Thanks.

You might get away with an alteration, the best thing to do is contact the planners and arrange to meet them and discuss the issues, they will direct you on the best course of action

assuming its a TAMS grant....

8.3 Maximum tolerances in the dimensions of Completed Structures
Buildings and structures must be constructed according to the dimensions given in the approval letter,
and be sited as shown on the plans presented with the application. However, the following changes are
permitted, subject to compliance with the relevant Minimum Specification(s) issued at the date of
approval by the Department.
(a) if for reasons of safety, or for difficulties of construction, it is necessary to re-site the building
structure, this may be done without further consultation if the completed structure is offset in
any direction by not more than one metre.
(b) the final dimensions (length or width) of each structure can be decreased (subject to point (d)
below).
(c) the final dimensions (length or width) of each structure (other than underground slurry/effluent
tank) can be increased by no more than 1000mm of the dimensions given in the application.
(d) The capacity of an underground slurry/effluent tank can increase by up to 50% capacity. Tank
dimensions can only be decreased by less than 500mm in its length or 100mm in its depth, to
that given in the approval. (For example it is allowed to increase dimensions to allow for the
installation of an external access point, or to accommodate a specific length of slat).
(e) the internal rearrangement of a building for example, animal area, internal feed area.
(f) the internal re-arrangement of slurry tanks, as long as compliant with (d) above.
If it is necessary to make changes greater than those permitted under the tolerances listed above
applicants should submit with their payment claim form AWS 20, the revised drawings and written
approval from the Local Planning Authority for the relevant changes. If a tolerance has been breached, and
written approval from the Local Planning Authority and revised drawings are not submitted with a
payment claim form AWS 20, then a 5% penalty will apply to the relevant structure. In all cases, changes
must be approved by the Local Planning Authority prior to approval of payment

height isnt listed in available tolerance so i wouldnt make any assumptions that any height change is ok.

id suggest meeting your local planner and asking them their opinion.
they may offer written confirmation that it ok, they may not, or they may suggest applying for a section 5 declaration.
