Garage Planning

lj_garet

I need some advise regarding planning permission.
Site was granted planning for house and 50m2 garage back in 2006. House was buid within the 5 yrs period however garage walls have never been erected at all.
To build now- do we need to go through the planning process for the garage again or would it be assumed that the planning once granted back in 2006 was substancially completed and all works could be finished even after the planning has lapsed?

I writing here as I'm hoping that someone somewhere went through the same process...

Thanks in advance.

Shed never commenced, so that element of the planning has expired.

New planning required for the garage in my opinion.

Poor Uncle Tom

There is also a train of thought that goes:

If your development is not substantially completed within the life span of the planning permission or works completed in full before being stopped, then the works carried out are no longer compliant with the planning permission as issued and a new planning permission is required for retention and completion of the entire development.

woohoo!!!

That train of thought sounds like solicitors talking through their hoop and looking to make money.

Regarding the garage, it seems to imply that a foundation slab is there, maybe not? In and event, planning permission for a garage now required as original permission has long since expired.

not really.... its the same train of though that you cannot pick and choose what elements of a planning permission which you want to comply with... either the whole permission is complied with, or it isnt.

anyway, the same as above, that garage now needs permission so a new planning application is required.

woohoo!!!

I could see instances where it would apply and would be needed, just not in this instance. Agree to disagree.
