The architect drawing our plans wants to submit them through the planning portal. The extension is within permitted development.
I understand it's good to have a document proving the work is kosher when we sell, but it feels like this is inviting Hackney Council to meddle. Would we be better getting a certificate of lawful development later? I'm sure the work is within permitted development, but then if they for some reason say it's not, we're a bit stuffed if we wait until it's built...
Edit: Read a Resi article, it’s a certificate of lawful development application before building, so best option really. I guess it doesn’t get opened up for consultation etc
