RE: PD vs S73 vs New application

Those are all possibilities to consider along with a possible 96A application for a non-material amendment. But what's more important than anything we think on this forum is what does your local planning authority think? Have you approached them yet? If not that would be a good place to start.

PD vs S73 vs New application

2025-01-31T17:07:46Z

Hi there,

Situation : I have an already consented householder application for a large extension. This consent did NOT take away my PD rights. Consented scheme is fully exempt from CIL and I have an exemption certificate from LA. Scheme has not started yet, with a planned start date of March 2025.

Ambition : I would like to include a habitable loft as well in the scheme which the original consent did not include (loft was not a requirement back then). Loft would sit fully self-contained within the consented roof with only veluxes and no dormers.

Question : What is the best & quickest planning vehicle to achieve this? Options as I understand are below,

Option 1 - Apply PD/Lawful dev. cert after current scheme is started - My total roof volume increase is above 50 cubic meter if you compare the existing roof as of today vs consented roof. Is it fair to assume therefore LDC is not possible?

Option 2 - S73 app after curent scheme is started - If approved, I will transition over to S73 scheme. Are there CIL implications?

Option 3 - New householder app after scheme has completed

Any other options I am missing please? Which option is possible which will also save time? Thank you.
