planning permission

bribri_2

I have a house I want to buy, but will probably only do so if I can build out to one side. There is room to drive a car as there is a garage at the rear.

How can I find out if planning permission is likely to be granted without putting in forms?

Thank you

Are there any other similar houses in the street that have been extended in the same way? Only this is often an indication that pp will be granted.

What you could do is make an appoinment to go see your local planners and dicsuss your proposals with them. The more detail you have, such as plans, drawings etc, the more guidance the planners will be able to give you. In my experience, some planners are more helpful than others, however if you get a good bloke, he will more or less be able to tell you what the outcome will be.

Also, if you go see the planners BEFORE putting any forms in they will be able to spot any potential issues so that you can adjust your plans.
