planning permission related query

lovehathi · 10-04-2016 03:24PM #1

Hi everyone

We have been approved a amended planning permission to previous approved planning permission. This one is smaller than last one.

Total area in the new extension plan is 39 sq meter.

So i have few queries
1.In all other respects the proposed development shall adhere to the planning permission plan ref no... and the conditions attached Reason: In the interest of clarification of the scope of this permission.
So what should we take from previous permission?. one thing it had was money contribution which was calculated on the total extension, but we have reduced the plan now??. So do we still pay the same amount .Also there is no mention in the new permission about contribution.

2. C490 Exempt Development restriction (Extensions etc.)

This section means that we cannot make any shed in back?? as we wanted to make one little bigger as on now is bit small?

We wanted to build just gates and front poarch for now . So what step we have to follow and when can we start.
Lastly do we need to have assigned certifiers for this build as it is less than 40 sq meter?

thanks

OP: can you please go back and edit this as its a bit hard to follow: words like just, much, only, bigger, small, without proper context, make it hard to follow.

Its hard to follow.

You don't need assigned certifier now for any one off domestic build if you sign the opt out option.

Seems fairly clear

You need planning for any other extension, garage etc

What did your architect have to say?

lovehathi · 12-04-2016 05:43PM

Thanks BryanF

I didn't spoke to him because we paid for design only.
I am worried is , do we need planning permission for shed in back?

thanks

Yes you need planning for the shed. This,condition basically de-exempts the exemptions.

Sounds like a tight site.

lovehathi · 12-04-2016 10:54PM

thanks Kceire but in previous permission there was no such clause, also we have 60 ft garden? its a very big site. So what happens to existing shed?

Previous permission is now over ruled by this permission, it happens a lot of many new permissions. It depends on plot ratio, site coverage etc

Basically you need to apply for permission for the shed.

Appeal the condition re de-exemption is an option, assuming the 4 week appeal period is still there.

Angry bird · 13-04-2016 09:34AM

Forgot to add ring them to clarify the contributions, if not happy appeal this also

lovehathi · 13-04-2016 10:04AM

Hi Angry Bird

We saw it was approved on 5th of april final grant is not issued yet? so do we still have the time to appeal. Also will this upset the planner?

Angry bird · 13-04-2016 10:52AM

Yes 4 weeks from April 5th. The notice you received should contain info re appeal procedures etc. As the de-exemption condition is on this one and not the previous then may be worth appealing. Planner isn't going to be upset if you appeal, normal part of the job. Go to the council website and look for the planners report under the planning reference number to see info re the added condition and any planning levies. It sounds like sloppy work to me.

Decision Date = 5th April
Final date for appeals to An board Pleanala is the 3rd May.

Ignore the planners feelings, its nothing personal to them or you.
You will have to prepare a document to argue your appeal to An board Pleanala.

http://www.pleanala.ie/index.htm

Just be aware that an appeal puts a hold on you commencing works and it may not be decided on for 5-6 months.

Angry bird · 13-04-2016 11:01AM

About 14 weeks this weather. Up to the OP to decide but I would not be happy re a de exemption condition and if just appealing a condition then the approved development isn't affected by the appeal or decision in it.

Can the OP commence works while an active appeal in in place?
The conditions have no bearing on the construction so I suppose they are immaterial but I'm wondering if there's a legal obstacle?

I doubt it would be picked up on CN lodgement.

Angry bird · 13-04-2016 01:34PM

Tricky one kceire. In theory no reason why not. Legally speaking, I'd be hesitant to commence as no final grant issued until appeal decided.

i think thats the crux there...

the applicant wouldn't actually have a legal grant while an appeal is on going, even if its only 1 condition thats being appealed.

Metric Tensor · 13-04-2016 04:00PM

Could the OP commence the previous application whilst appealing the new one?

Yes but the plans and site works must match that of the plan ref number put on the CN form. If it differs significantly then the BCO would be obliged to pass that info the Plan Enf section once he returned to the office.

*may not be the practice in every LA

Metric Tensor · 13-04-2016 06:30PM

The site works might be the same though!

I just realised a fatal flaw anyway - get caught for two contributions!

BC don't check that contributions are paid before validating a CN

lovehathi · 14-04-2016 12:42PM

Hi everyone ,

thanks for many contribution here.

Now i spoke to the planner and explained him the site is big and its only 0.33 ratio which was not filled buy the current architech. So space was not the problem.

He then told me lots of story that they have to impose (c430), as people have build lots of things in back and they will have no garden left ?.
He also said if u have an old shed then u can leave it but from now u cannot build anymore.

Regarding contribution i clarified with the the person who imposes ,said its not imposed in this, as size is reduced and we r not building as per the previous planning application.

If anyone knows what happens to the precast shed, are they also enforced in this section . I presume they are temporary types.

Scondly till we get the final permission granted we are not under any obligation is that right??

Lastly he said he cannot change the condition as it is been passed? only way we have is to appeal which will cost money.
Its a pain and sad part. Now we have garden left to play football 33ft wide and 60ft in length!!

thanks

BryanF · 14-04-2016 01:09PM

can you please amend your post so we can read it?? Thanks

lovehathi · 14-04-2016 01:43PM

Tried but still not great in writing.

1. what "contribution" are you referring to?

2. makes absolutely no difference, "temporary" or permanent are treated the same.

3. obligation to do what? you dont actually have any permission until you get the final grant. all you have at the moment is the notification of the decision.

4. TRICKY ONE. if there is part of your garden not included in the 'planning permission site'.. then it is arguable that the conditions of planning do not apply to that portion of your garden outside of the planning permission site.. and apply only to what is outlined in red on the site layout plan.

lovehathi · 14-04-2016 04:30PM

Thanks for reply
Contribution is the Dublin City development one.

3. Obligation is that if we made shed now with exempted limit ,we don't have to worry about c490

4. Our site plan just include drawing of house and oci map showing site.

3. it could be argued that youd be in contravention of the planning permission if you build now before your final grant, as your planning drawings would not reflect the situation in reality when it is granted. It could possibly invalidate your permission.

4. well if your whole site was outlined in red, then your whole site is subject to this condition. cant blame the architect for that one.

its not the end of the world.
it just means if you want to build a garage you need to apply for permission for it. if youve such a large rear garden left, then its highly likely to be granted.

Conditions can be applied to land outside the red line boundary.

It depends upon the type of appeal. If you only appeal the financial contribution you do not have to wait until the Board make a decision before applying to commence development.

But you cannot commence without a final grant of decision and you cannot get a final grant during an active appeal????

Appealing the financial contribution only is a different type of appeal where only the contribution is assessed against the application of the relevant contribution scheme. Other than the financial contribution the Board does not assess the proposed development afresh as would be done in the more standard appeal that you are thinking of

chippers · 14-04-2016 10:19PM

Taken from the Board's guide to making an appeal on their website:

Generally, there is no appeal to the Board in relation to conditions against financial contributions imposed under Development or Supplementary Development Contribution Schemes. However, appeals are permitted against special contribution conditions imposed by a planning authority and appeals are also permitted where a developer considers that the terms of a Development or Supplementary Development Contribution Scheme were not properly applied. In such cases, where there is no other appeal against the decision of the planning authority, the Board can only deal with the matter under appeal (see question 20) and the planning authority shall make the grant of permission notwithstanding the appeal to
the Board provided that the person taking the appeal furnishes to the planning authority security for payment of the full amount of the contribution or special contribution, as appropriate.

sydthebeat · 14-04-2016 10:50PM

Yeah, that's only to do with financial contributions and not the subject of the ops query.

As a by the way, I have been successful in applying for certain conditions to be removed from a granted application

That's an easy condition to dismiss under appeal.
The exempt development regulations have specific controls relating to retain an amount of garden.

Did you Board look at only the condition or the proposed development de novo?

Original poster should be aware that this is at the discretion of the Board.

If you want to PM me the address I'll check the planners report and see if there's a specific reason why the condition was attached.
