I arranged to meet the lady responsible for our planning application at Mid Beds Council. She is a little sweetie, but I suspect we may not get our plans approved without some changes. It looks as though there may be a perceived problem with the bulk of the roof in relation to the style of the property for which approal has been granted. This had hips at each end of the house, and at each of the front and rear extended bits, whereas our design has two gable ends. The net result is that our design presents a larger area of roof that might have to be changed, Trouble is, I'm not sure how we could add hips to the roof without ruining the space and features inside the house.
So, the application goes forward to the planning committee comprising senior planners, who are able to approve it, or they may pass it on to the full planning meeting in January, at which all the councillors will be in attendance, and I can plead our case. Fingers very much crossed. If I were a betting man I would say there is a 40-50% chance.
