Small changes to passed house plans

Question

What counts as a small change to passed plans for building a house? How much can you change without reapplying for permission?

Jack · Answer

You can only make non-material amendments. Typically this may include;
Amendments to openings (doors or windows) that do not overlook neighbouring properties, so side windows etc. 
reducing the size of the building or extension 
Changing the interior layout

You should be able to apply for a planning amendment rather than a fresh planning application. The best thing to do is call your local council and discuss the changes with them.

In general, minor changes that are unlikely to significantly impact the character or appearance of the development may be considered non-material amendments and can be approved by the local planning authority without the need for a new planning application. Examples of minor changes might include moving a window or door, making small alterations to the internal layout, or changing the materials used for the development.

However, if the changes you want to make are more significant or could have a greater impact on the character or appearance of the development, you may need to submit a new planning application for the revised plans. Examples of more significant changes might include increasing the height or size of the development, changing the use of the development, or altering the access to the development.

In any case, it's always best to consult with the local planning authority before making any changes to the approved plans to ensure that you are complying with their requirements and that your changes will be permitted without needing a new planning application.

Remember that you have a free revision to resubmit after the decision is made within a year!

There are a few options depending on the works you would want to.to at your property.

1.There are the internal works that do not require pla ing permission.

2. Conversions

- Loft Conversions not exceeding 40m2 of additional new space added for terraced house and not exeeding 50m2 for semi detached house.

-Kitchen back extensions not exceeding 3 meters Into the garden space.

Partu wall agreement will be required / building control company to monitor the works and to issue the certificate at the end of works, and also council to be notified  in advance with 5 working days before the works starts.
