    Will it affect the planning decision though, given that the work started early? It's not really that much of an issue, as other houses on the road have similar size extensions. The garden space rule might be pushed a bit though.

    Your not making any sense unfortunately.
    You don’t “push” the garden docs in an application. The garden space is a requirements for exempted development.

    Ah ok, I though you needed 10 sq m of garden, per bed space in the house.

    Permission that's applied for is for an 80 sqm rear extension, large rear garage and new driveway to front.

    But builder is ploughing ahead with the work while awaiting permission to come through.

    You do realise that if/when the planner sees that works have commenced your current application will be invalidated and returned to you?

    If that was the case, then why would the architect and builder decide it was ok to go ahead with the works?

    I guess this will then leave no option other than to apply for retention instead?

    Quite simply, because you have a bunch of cowboys engaged that are taking you for a mug.

    If the sh1t hits the fan, it’s you that pays. Not them.

    When did you lodge for planning?

    They wouldnt have done anything without instructions from yourself.

    You are coming across as incredibly naive. I suspect there's a lot more going on here that we arent being told.

    March 16th 2021 planning was lodged. Building work started in January 2021, but mainly internal, and demolition of single storey rear section of the house.
    April 12th builders decided it was ok to start more obvious work, so took out the front railings of the house, rear wall that backs on to a lane, and excavate and pour the foundations.

    I better just not say anything more so, and will update in a couple of months once I find out what DCC decide regarding planning, etc.

    Thanks for all the helpful input from everyone.

    I'm so confused. Building work started in January when building work closed down? And that amount of work has been done with no planning?
    I know you're keen to crack on but this is ringing so many alarm bells. I would put a hold on everything and put your heads together with all the parties. You'll be the one made to tear something down if it's non compliant.

    Ah ok. I assume the architects will look after it in that case. It's 80 sq metres, and in an Architectural Conservation Area. Planning hasn't been approved yet, but decision due next month from DCC. Site excavated and putting the foundations down this week.
    OP, you’re around long enough to know we obey the law in this forum. there has also been an accusation that the thread is fiction. Closing the thread now, but if you’d like to discuss please PM the mods.
