What are we doing?

After extensive consideration and consultation we have been advised that the best way forward is to resubmit our planning application exactly as before, and append an explanation as to why one of the conditions in the previous permission makes the project untenable. Having gone over the options we have absolutely ruled out building the extension according to the Council conditions, mainly due to the engineering difficulties with the roof and the reduction in room sizes necessitated by the repositioning of the door openings.

Our new application will be submitted on Thursday of this week, meaning we will be expecting a planning decision some time after 10th August.

If we are unsuccessful again, and no suitable alternative can be found, we will apply to have the extension knocked down, have a planning-exempt extension built on to the kitchen at the rear, renovate the whole lot, and sell on at the earliest opportunity.

But hopefully it won't come to that.
