Hello, so I'm talking about having the patio door on the porch a fair bit smaller than shown on the plans. Maybe a meter smaller. Wouldn't mind changing the colour of the Soffits either.
From what I've seen online this is a no no so does anyone know if there's a way around it that doesn't involve a new application?
 
Search for non material amend.
It'a for small amends to plans that don't need new applications.
From memory it's about £40 and then they just approve quite quick if all ok

Thanks
I think window and doors aren't non material from what I've seen anyway. Or maybe it varies from council to council. Cheers
 
I changed a window to a french door on mine and was fine.

As long as it doesn't change the footprint or impact on neighbours you should be ok and you're making it smaller not bigger

I'd just email the planners and say what you'd like to do and can you submit a non material amend.
 
A smaller door in the same place and of the same design won't need approval.

Neither will changing the soffit colour unless there are specific conditions attached to it or the property is in a special area.

Thanks woody. I don't think there's special conditions the architect just put black soffits and facias without asking.
He's also put on the drawing that the tiles including the new ones will be "painted". Does that make sense to you? Doesn't even say what colour.
 
The colours of things on a building are not planning concerns, as these can be painted at will without needing planning permission.

Colours only become an issue if conditioned or are essential for deciding to grant the permission in the first place.
