Property Development Project - Day 196

The day has arrived at long last; there is a large envelope on the mat this morning from the Local Authority. It can only be either Planning Permissions or another set of refusals.

I could tease myself and wait a bit before opening it, but no, open it up and there they are two permissions as shown above.

The two-storey extension permission is short and sweet in that it only has two conditions:

1. Time – it has to be undertaken within 5 years, and
2. External details have to match those of the existing house.

Both very reasonable and now we come to the new house and single-storey extension:

1. Time - again undertake development within 5 years,
2. Before the start of development submit details and agree – the external facing materials, boundary treatment and the verge, eaves and window details,
3. Before the start of development lower the hedge height on part of the frontage,
4. No occupation until the parking is in place, and
5. The external details of the extension to match the existing house.

As you will see later I will have some problems with condition 2 and getting the necessary agreements on time. However now it is time for celebration and looking to move the property development project forward to the next stage.
