I have written to my councillor and our neighbours have also contacted the planning dept to voice their opposition.
The owners have also put in a new planning application for the project.0 -
As advised you need to see this (it will almost certainly be on the local authority's planning portal) and comment or object as seems fit. Objections need to relate to planning criteria of this new scheme.stingrayjjj said:

If the building is exactly the same dimension externally but has changed internally, can I ask why the objection or am I missing something ?1

As I said at the outset, they would just apply again. You need to check what you can and cannot object to as none of those are acceptable objections in terms of planning permission.jonnydeppiwish! said:Wait and see what the council say. There’s no reason why, if needed, they won’t be able to apply for retrospective planning permission and be given it, regardless of how ‘outraged’ you and your neighbours are. Then again, the council might refuse it.2006 LBM £28,000+ in debt.

It's a far more intensive use of the site. So, there's likely to be more disturbance. Plus, there's the possibility (probably the likelihood) that it will get used for other purposes. So, what is described as ancillary accommodation for the main house on the planning application becomes an Air BnB, perhaps.babyblade41 said:If the building is exactly the same dimension externally but has changed internally, can I ask why the objection or am I missing something ?
If I were the OP, I'd be objecting, plus encouraging my neighbours to do likewise.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?3 -
@GDB2222, thanks I never really thought of it in that way, although I'm sure with only a couple of extra rooms would it result in such a huge disturbance ?2

Yes the owners are now submitting a new application to try to legalise the addition of an extra storey, two extra bedrooms an extra bathroom.
It's a complete change of use from a single storey rundown workshop/store into a two storey house. The new application has not been submitted yet.0 -

Is it a change of use? I thought that the workshop they originally applied for never got built? Just treat it as a brand new planning application, and object accordingly.
