Planning permission

[ShyOwl]

Apologies if this isn't the right place but I thought this board might be best placed to help.

There's a planning request on a green at the front of our house, various neighbours have objected, there's issues with the plan actually building over neighbours parking spaces and a huge tree the plan says isn't currently present. Needless to say it's something we are dead against.

The council have suggested rejection due to access, overcrowding and lack of parking in their comments.
Does this mean it's pretty likely to be refused ?

Depends. Is that comment from the council's planning officer in their report? Is that person recommending to refuse on those grounds? If so that is leaning towards rejection, but not guaranteed.

Will it go to planning committee - that normally depends on it being called in, or the number of objections can trigger than in your local authority area. read their planning process rules.

If it goes to committee the planning committee members read the proposal and vote. They can go against the planning officer's recommendation. And they can operate as a political party to push things though if in the majority.

@Rollercoaster1920
It's the planning committee comments if I've understood this right?

Looks like the committee have decided. Due to the redaction not sure whether that is a planning officers recommendation or the committee's decision. Can you view application status on the website? My local authority update in a couple of days the committee outcome.

Thanks @Rollercoaster1920 the redactions are:
The first redaction is the planning request number, the other three are the city of xyz council ( the last one with the date too)
Signed off by the senior administration office

That looks like a parish council objection. Town and parish councils are usually statutory consultees to planning applications in their neighbourhood. The planning authority - usually the district council - will make the final decision. It will either be delegated to an officer or discussed at a planning committee of elected councillors. You can respond to a planning application yourself which would usually enable you to speak at committee should it go to committee.

Just read your update. If the city council is the planning authority then that is the recommendation of the officer to refuse. The presentation does not look very formal though - it would usually be very detailed.

The application gets sent to different departments for consideration

So example the council and road works department - plus others and they all have input from different angles

Then there’s the neighbors.

You need to check the planning application in line

Thanks all, the status online is still pending, I was just hoping that this might be a good sign they'll say no.
We've put our house on the market recently and worried about it affecting any sale

Hi there, I was hoping someone could help me as we start to think about a single storey rear extension to our detached house last summer. We engaged with an architect, who completed some drawings, and proceeded to apply for planning permission. That was back in July last year, we final had some feedback from Gloucester council in Jan that we also need to submit a flood risk assessment. Now I thought the architect had all this in hand, but Friends and family have asked e why he hasn’t gone down the permitted development route. Is there any reason why an architect would prefer to go down the planning applications route?

Perhaps the proposed extension doesn’t meet the criteria for permitted development? Eg maximum size, distance from boundary, the fact that the house has already been extended by a certain amount. Magnox you’re more likely to get responses by creating your own post

I don't have the answer but if I were you I'd start a new thread as people won't see that your post is a new question unrelated to the old thread you have posted in, you won't get many answers

It could be that Permitted Development does not apply because of the position, size or height of the extension, or if the house is part of a conservation area, AONB or similar. It's a complex area, I would suggest calling your architect to ask or having a look here:

Also If the house or any other buildings on site have been altered over the years this may mean you don't have enough permitted development allowance it's not a new amount for each application it's a finite amount for each site, - porches, garages are commonly added and forgotten

Thanks, will do
