Householder planning application limits

Householder planning application limits

New Member Posts: 2 Join Date: 12/01/24 Recent Posts

Hi all,

I wonder if I could get some advice please. My LPA is not willing to consider my householder application for an extention under the 'householder' category, citing that the scale of demolitions of original walls is so much that it stops being an extention and that it needs to be considered under a 'full planning application' for full demolition and a new-build. 

I find this puzzling as a large percentage of original walls infact has been retained. Is there any part of the law which can shed some light here, to define the limits of the application type 'The Householder Application for Planning Permission for Works or Extension to a Dwelling'? Is there anything in law which defines the limits of what one can and cannot apply for with this type of application? 

Many thanks for your time.
