Outside wall finishes and planning

    Hi All,


    I am not sure but I think that if there is stone cladding shown on the front wall of the house for planning that it is a planning requirement to then finish the wall in stone.

    But what about the sides of the house? If the side of the house is shown as clad in stone when going for planning does it have to be done or at least could it be put on the long finger indefinitely.

    I need to check again with my arch but I was looking though the final plans that are in for planning and I think they still show some sections of stone cladding on the side of the house and we neither want this for look or cost reasons (we had said we want it removed but maybe was overlooked in back an fourth with the arch). Thanks.

    Condition No. 1
    Construction to match the plans and particulars as lodged.
    Contact the planner involved and see if they’d consider it an alteration to the granted planning. You can apply for planning to remove the cladding.

    Hi, Another follow on question, I was surprised to see the material of the outer doors mentioned in the planning application. Windows are basically left open (sorry about the pun) to be defined later but the doors are down as pvc - surely this will not be a requirement or be checked and compared to planning? I would have always planned on timber or possibly composite doors but not pvc.

    Will make no difference tbh
    I always call up door and windows to client specification unless they already know exactly what colour and style they are going for.

    Is that condition always upheld?

    I know someone who applied for a massive extension, brick external finish in their plans, who then just did it in sand and cement render to save money. It looks terrible.

    DCC final grant notice also said the finish was to harmonise with existing external finish, so the owners took this as meaning they could then just harmonise with the sand and cement section of their existing house, rather than their brick section, or what was in their plans. Would their architect issue a cert of compliance in this case?

    If DCC conditioned the grant and stated that the finish to harmonize with the existing building then this condition trumps condition No. 1.

    Part of the wording of condition no. 1 on a planning grant I received today
    save as may be required by the conditions attached hereto.
