We have been renovating our house for a couple of years, and have been deliberating about about adding a one storey kitchen extension. The plan is to knock down an existing garage full of damp to make more garden space, and have from the kitchen extension a utility room and build another garage on from there using our driveway space. We decided we were going to go for it and the pandemic hit.
I’m thinking we could get architects drawings and planning permission this year, whilst also planning out the kitchen and utility room (lights, plugs, unit layout etc) and prepare to start building work next year. Does anyone know if planning regs etc would still be valid? Does this seem like a reasonable plan? Nobody really knows what’s happening with the pandemic, but am I right to plan for next year? Thinking the industry will have to adapt and find ways to move forward?
