Planning Permission
Good afternoon,
If a plot of land is being sold with planning permission for a eco friendly house, 2 floors.
How difficult would it be to change it to a single story eco friendly bungalow?
The restrictions seem to be that it must be eco friendly.
Thank you

I think you apply for the variation to the ctee. It is VERY unlikely that it will be refused since they approved a first one ( theother week).
the other things I would NOT consider are - a) the uncertainty b) the time needed to change approval c) the effect on the value of the sale - ( planning permission gives a healthy premium but does it vary if it is a tower block or telephone kiosk - I wd say yes)
It might be worth seeing if you can find the Local Plan for the area. This is produced by the Local Authority and contains specific do's/dont's and their projected vision for certain areas. This may include areas where they will more readily accept certain types of dwelling, but not others. Although, that is not to say you can't get round these 'visions'.
