Does this apply to extensions or only new builds? Thinking a 530m2 extension to cubicle shed which was built in the 80's...

There is no stipulation as to whether it has to be a new building or an extension so I'd say you were ok

Are there normally different rules to extensions vs. new building? I'd never considered this before, just assumed all new "development" (extra sq. footage) was considered the same.
 
Thanks.

and non-PD/full planning?
For non-PD then full planning would be required and every case would be judged on its own merit. The advantage of PD is as long as you comply with the requirements set out in the GPDO then you can have your building. With full planning it is a judgement call by a case officer who will have to consult the local statutory bodies, probably a rural consultant and of course your neighbours.

Thanks. Getting planning approved wouldn't be an issue at all. Never had any trouble in the past and won't be visible or near to anyone else. Only reason to go PD would be to save the planning fee. Would we be able to extend this extension in many years to come?

You'll save a lot more than that....not to mention the reduced hassle and speed (28 days rather than potentially unltd time).

You won't need an architect to draw up plans or submit the application for you.
No chance of further consultants needed to draw up highway plans, environmental statements, landscaping plans etc.
Unlikely to have any conditions applied to the final decision.

Could easily add up to same amount as the planning fee or more.


Thanks. All previous applications we've done we've drawn all plans ourselves without any issues. Never used a agent for a planning application. Would a pd prevent us extending on from that in future?
 
The more detailed the better but simple line drawings of the elevations - TO SCALE would be sufficient in most cases.
So a reasonable effort with a pen and a ruler to draw a straight line should be sufficient.

Having looked at the councils planning portal some years ago I was amazed at some of the drawings some had submitted, drawn freehand, some relatively young children could have done better! I don't however know if these applications were queried or passed.
