Question about demolishing a house and rebuilding

For example, buying something like this at a knockdown price, applying for planning to demolish and rebuild and put something contemporary and chock full of eco-features in it's place.

Is it worth taking the risk, buying and hoping I'd get the green light to demolish and replace or are there too many chances of refusal?Comment

You could then get Outline planning permission, which just says "A four bed house to replace the existing 3 bed" etc. Then if that is ok, proceed to a more detailed application.
If you put a planning application in, and it looks like it is going to be rejected, you can withdraw it before it is rejected. This saves the plot getting a "Red flag" against it, and saves you paying for another planning request.
HomeBuilding&Renovation magazine is really good, and has loads of useful information about planning.Originally posted by cailin maithHang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar??Comment

I keep hearing adverts for www.planningportal.gov.uk don't know if that's any use to you - it certainly isn't to me."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Bloody hard to find a half decent plot though!Comment

I guess I'm making the assumption that it is easier to get permission to replace an existing house than it is to get permission to build on land where no house exists at the moment (e.g a plot with a barn on it or such like).Comment

There has been a fashion for your idea in the stock broker belt of south manchester. Either buying large houses with grounds and building flats OR knocking down 1930s style large detached houses and replacing them with footballer style tat. I believe Ole Gunnar Solskear is currently trying to do the latest football style tat i.e. an eco house. The local authorities are not best pleased.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
