You can change address/council tax before getting planning permission?
Am just starting on architect front first, they will handle most of this tulipe (at least planning, building regs, oversight on actual work)

my merging of basement flat and house is becoming painful.
1) The council said they cannot merge for council tax till I have sorted the vlauations agency
2) valuations agency said 'they always say that, but you actually just need to get the street number changed'
3) council charged £1760 to merge the addresses. Only easy bit so far
4) council rang today (yes a Saturday) to tell me that I still need valuations to reband the property (I reckon it will go from Band E to F, bu that is cheaper than Band E and a Band A)
5) the scrote who lived in thew flat fecked off leaving a £3k electric bill. Luckily I was never the landlord so not my problem and the smart meter means I can pay only for what I've used (about 1.5 kWh in 2 months)
6) still waiting for an architect, structural engineers, planning and building regs

Thanks for feedback all, but Jesus Christ - anybody seriously believed in flats being actually over a kebab shop and combined being 100 ft? Guess I should have clarified that I don't live in London

Planning permission in theory is not required... or is it?
Unless you own the lease to the building, you'll need to get the landlord's permission, and at a price.
Get proper legal advice, and try not to rely on strangers on a forum who quite frankly know next to nothing about anything.

Why don't you just buy the kebab shop as well? Will be pocket change for you won't it?

You might be best to simply contact the local council planning office - contrary to popular belief it's their job to help you and in my experience, they are much less awkward when it's clear you are trying to do everything properly.
