    Hi, we are thinking of building a 40ms extension to the rear of house. We are keeping it at this size to avoid planning. We also will be looking for a mortgage or a loan to complete the extension but our engineer tells us the lender will look for planning on this before approval for loan.
    Is this true, we didn't think we would need planning.
    Thanks

    The lender won't look for planning if it's planning exempt, I don't know what the engineer is referring to.

    You only require a letter from your engineer confirming, before the works commence, that the works are exempt from planning

    The mortgage provider will not release funds until Planning is granted. They basically don’t want any of their funding to be used on the planning process.

    But, if yours is exempt, then the engineer should be ticking the box on the funds form to say it’s exempt and then the funds can be released.

    Apply for planning exemption to your Council-section 5 application

    That’s not a planning exemption. And it’s not required. It also takes 5 weeks.

    A section 5 is where you ask the council if they described works you put on the form constitute development and therefore, is planning required.

    You must of seen the plans, to be sure that planning isn't required. I thought that was the purpose of the section 5 to confirm that planning isn't required. 4 weeks

    2 points you need to read again and understand.

    1. The OP stated planning is not required.

    2. You are misquoting me. I posted that a Section 5 application is not required as their engineer can issue a cert of exemption.

    The purpose of a Section 5 is as per my previous post. To determine is the proposal as described on the form constitutes development works and there requires planning.
