Continued from page 1

- The neighbour notification. Upon examining your plans, the council will write to the owners of the buildings or land in your immediate area to notify them of your plans. Your neighbours will then have 21 days to make an objection to your proposals. If the council receives more than two such objections the case will be referred to a committee to make a final decision.

- The decision. If planning permission is granted you can get on with the work. If it's refused you can appeal against the decision. However, unless you alter your plans it's unlikely that you will be successful

- Altering your plans. In most cases the council will not completely refuse your plans. They will inform you of the problem areas and invite you to make relevant changes and then resubmit your plans. With a little bit of luck the council will be more receptacle this time around and you will be building before you know it.

- A final word of warning. Don't be tempted to alter your plans after the council have granted planning permission unless you have submitted these changes for approval. The council have every right to make you tear down anything you've built if it doesn't correspond with the original plans.
