Sorry. I should have made it clear that it was a past tense - Application 18/01216/F from a PM on the 21st.

Oh I got you!! 

As an aside, with the neighbouring house occupants moving, when’s the best time to submit a planning permission application? Obviously wouldn’t do it until the house was ours, but straight away if the owners of neighbours Who objected back in 2007 are still there or once they’ve left? 

Is there a law RE letting people in the buying process know that PP has been applied for on a neighbouring house? And can the buyer in the process of buying object?

Plan according to when you are likely to have the funds together, as PP expires after 3 years. That means it needs to be started by that point, not finished.

The application for PP should come to light from conveyencer's searches.

You would need to look at the planning portal of the local council to find out what applications have been made. There are limited grounds for an objection, and anyone can put one in.

Anyone! I thought only people who lived there could, so I could theoretically object To any proposed building works on the portal on the other side of the city?

That’s a good point - I’ve no idea what this is going to cost for the work I’m looking at, but a couple of the architects work in companies that have in house builders so I should get an idea of price anyway. Preference is to start within the first year of living there though so we shall see.

From anywhere in the world. 

It doesn't make anyone's comments any more, or less,  relevant though.  Decisions are made on legislation, not on the neighbours' opinions, in the main.  

Things aren't rejected because neighbours complain.  They are rejected because they don't meet policy.

I didn’t realise this before! Yeah seems like a mix. Hopefully I’ll find an architect I like fairly soon to discuss all this with beyond hypothetical ideas. The one I met this week said permitted development rules for attic conversions are becoming even more lax next year, so after all this maybe that’s the easiest way to go, I’m not sure. As long as the stairs can fit somewhere!
