Building house question.

teednab-el

Hi guys

Just wondering how far can you move a house to be within planning regulations? Im going building a house in the country, i have planning permission already and i want to rotate the house slightly as it doesnt look right the way it is. There is no other houses nearby. The front left point of house is staying as it is but the other point i want to move in order to tilt house to slight direction . Dimensions all the same just want to rotate the house slightly. What would one get away with before there be an issue?

If nobody complains then chances are there won't be an issue, however, you won't be able to sell the property as it won't be planning compliant. You were given permission for what you asked for and now you want to change it. Doesn't work that way unfortunately.

How would one know if the engineer says its ok and complaint?
Hardly anyone from the planning authority will come out to check it unless somebody objected in the first place?

if the engineer is willing to sign it off as being in substantial compliance... then hes putting his professional PI insurance on the line, and that should be good enough.


its a case of how far you can stretch the elastic before it breaks...

1 degree? 3 degs? 7 degs? 10? 45?

no one will.
they haven't the man power to be out actively looking for non compliant developments.

however you may be unlucky enough to have the planner who worked on your file driving past you everyday and might spot the discrepancies... stranger things have happened.....

We had exactly this issue and pivoted the house by about 3 degrees. We also shiifted it 1 meter east and 2 meters south. Architect had no issue with it.

No public road where my site is. So unless he has satellite vision. He ain't goimg to spot that the house has being rotated slightly.

Make the changes on paper.
Speak to the planner.

Get it sorted now as it will be harder and more expensive to rectify later n
