Planning application
8 Turton Place Stevenage Herts SG1 4XE
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
My daughter has autism and masks heavily at school. A lot of her frustrations are felt at home. Sienna masks heavily at school and needs a safe space to regulate. When we bought the house we did so on the provison we could convert the garage to a sensory room. The developer agreed to this before the purchase but the surveyer said we need to check if an article 4 direction has been used to remove permitted development rights. If there is anyway anyone could get back to me as soon as possible as we are very much in urgent need of this and were hoping this would be completed before the summer holidays as the building works would be dangerous around Sienna so it needs to be done whilst she was at school. We didnt realise we would need to do this part. My husband did send an email on Monday but didnt explain it properly. Our drive can also fir 3 cars on as we have done many times.

Awaiting decision

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Stevenage for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About outline applications
How this application type works
An outline application tests the principle of developing a site before the detail is worked up. Some or all of the particulars, such as appearance, layout, scale, access and landscaping, are held back as reserved matters for later approval. Permission at outline stage does not by itself allow building to start; the reserved matters must be approved first.

39 Ripon Road Stevenage Herts SG1 4LN
I am looking to install an EV charger at my house, however there are a few issues that need to be address. The first issue is that there is not a designated parking space on the road and it is a shared parking on the road. The second issue is on the side of the house, and where the EV charged will be installed, there is a hedge between the house and the parking spaces. I have had an electrician visit to survey the house and advise where the best place is to install the EV charger given the situation and he has advised on the side of the house, and to create somewhere of a path between the side of the house, through the hedges, to the parking spaces. I have uploaded a number of pictures to illustrate the challenges. On the first picture, with the red circle, this shows where the EV charger will be installed, and the hedges that are on the side of the house. The picture also shows the distance between the side of the house and the parking spaces. The second picture shows the hedges that are in front of the side of the house where we would like to create a pathway. Could you please advise the feasibility and possibility of creating a pathway through the hedges in order to have a path between the EV charger and my car and what are the next actions? I am keen to open a dialogue to find the best way to get an EV charger installed at my house

17 Coopers Close Stevenage Herts SG2 9TL
Proposal to install a new side personnel door (inward opening) and side window (fixed) into the western elevation of our detached double garage that directly fronts a public footpath and verge. I believe that this will not require planning consent and is PD, but am told that I should check in case Article 4 direction applies and i would need to apply for planning consent.
