Can I submit full plans for just the shell of my extension, i.e. foundations, slab, walls, windows, roof (I need these as 2 metres from public sewer), then do all the rest on a building notice. This would make the "full" plans simple enough for me to draw. Simon.
Building control in two stages - full plans / building notice

I think not, you need to work out how to do the whole job, else you may come very unstuck.

You *could* - but you might end up paying double the fee - because it would be classed as two projects. Have a word with your Building Control dept and get their take on it.
But would they take the first project, case it would be unfinished, it would not meet the requirments.

If you're building a twenty storey office block, you could do it in stages. If you're building an extension, your chances are non-existent.
Um, what I mean is the first stage on full plans is the "extension", but empty. I.e. obviously the walls finished if that is part of the insulation spec, also with windows. What I mean is the plumbing, electrics, kitchen units, internal doors, etc on the building notice. I would happily pay the council fee twice to make up the internals as I go along. I think what I am suggesting is very much in the spirit of this group. Simon.
