planing approved but plans wrong.

What happens if plans for a extension which have been approved included a decked area but the floor plan and elevations differ ?
The neighbors floor plans show the decked are runs 1/3 along the back of the house but the elevations shows it run all the way across the back of the house.

Is it decking at ground level? they don't need PP for decking so it does not matter what is shown on the plans.0

no 1.4 mtr from the ground.0

I think the fact the council approved them (incorrectly) we would have to go the government ombudsman who who decide if they followed the correct procedures etc and all we could hope for is compensation from the council for screening. (fence / planting) The council couldn't force a change to the decking now even though it is wrong.0

yes it does if it's above a certain height from the groundI'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.
You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.0 -

yes they can if it was part of the agreed planning & it's different to what they agreed to.
I'd speak to the planning dept & make sure it is to the agreed plansI'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

I think what the OP means is that the views on the plan differ, the council didn't spot it and approved both options in effect;);)
I take it the neighbour has volunteered the plans to you or did you view them at the council or online if that is possible?
I suppose I'm saying did you spot the mistake before it was passed?, in which case you had the chance to object at that stage?I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -
I know of a new home where the neighbours objected whilst building was under way. The issue was some windows which the neighbours claimed would overlook them. The new home owners were apologetic and realised the plans had been revised but had not been issued to the planners before the planning permission was granted. In essence, the new home owners had made a mistake which the neighbours had spotted.
The new home owners then applied to the council for a minor amendment. There was no charge for this. It was an administrative excercise. The council granted this without fuss or drama.
The new home owners were happy, but the neighbours were furious.
The moral is one does not have to build to the approved drawings. There is often another way around matters. I suggest OP considers this and sets his strategy accordingly.0
