Planning application
The Rookery Bignell Park Bicester Road Chesterton OX26 1UF
Works: Extension
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
Certificate of Lawfulness of Proposed Development: 05/02286/F permission was granted as part of the house extension to build a garage. This garage was never built and I would like to now build this. Does the permission still stand as the works for the main property were started and completed.
