There will always be house extensions and conversions, a sensible use of land in short supply.  But under the 'old' regs they had to get full planning permission, and it was possible for neighbours/anyone to object and force changes to the plan. We have two examples in our road right now where the original published plans are being 'amended' from what was approved, extra floors etc, and we have been able to call on LBH to stop it, hopefully before it's too late. Looking at the two examples on this week's planning list, the only houses notified are the immediate neighbours, not the whole street.  And if it's just giving notice, what chance is there to object?  I can imagine a lot of grief ahead. Well done Mr Pickles.  Please someone correct me if I've read this wrong.

Thanks. I can't see much difference except that only adjacent properties are notified. Am I missing something?  And can I build an extension less than 4m deep etc already?  Sorry not au fait with these things, my focus has been on larger scale plans.

In short yes you can with caveats attached. LB Haringey says:

http://www.haringey.gov.uk/index/housing_and_planning/planning-main...

3m-6m rear extension on an attached house or a 4m-8m rear extension on a detached house

The changes allow a 3m-6m rear extension on an attached house or a 4m-8m rear extension on a detached house, subject to all of the following additional criteria:

• The extension must be single storey and not exceed 4m in height
• The house must not be on Article 1(5) land (eg Conservation Area, AONB, National Park, etc) nor on a site of special scientific interest (SSSI)
• Before starting works, the developer must notify the LPA (by providing a written description, plan, etc)
• Haringey Council must consult the adjoining premises (minimum 21 days) and send a copy of the consultation letter to the developer
• If none of the owners or occupiers of any adjoining premises object to the proposed development, then Haringey Council must not assess the proposed development. Instead, Haringey Council confirms to the developer that prior approval is not required (or fails to issue a decision within 42 days). This indicates that the works would comply with condition A.4, but doesn’t indicate whether or not the works would comply with any of the other limitations or conditions of Part 1 Class A
• If any of the owners or occupiers of any adjoining premises object to the proposed development, then Haringey Council must assess the impact of the proposed development on the amenity of all adjoining premises (not just the adjoining premises which are the subject of representations), and must take into account all representations made as a result of the consultation letter. To be able to make this assessment, Haringey Council may require the developer to submit further information. If Haringey Council gives prior approval (or fails to issue a decision within 42 days), then this indicates that the works would comply with condition A.4, but doesn’t indicate whether or not the works would comply with any of the other limitations or conditions of Part 1 Class A. If Haringey Council refuses prior approval, then this indicates that the works would not comply with condition A.4, but doesn’t indicate whether or not the works would comply with any of the other limitations or conditions of Part 1 Class A. In the latter case, the developer would have the right to submit an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate
• If Haringey Council confirms that prior approval is not required (or fails to issue a decision within 42 days), then the works must be undertaken in accordance with the information that the developer submitted to Haringey Council, unless Haringey Council and the developer agree otherwise in writing. If Haringey Council gives prior approval, then the works must be undertaken in accordance with the details approved by Haringey Council, unless Haringey Council and the developer agree otherwise in writing
• The works must be completed on or before 30 May 2016
• The developer must notify Haringey Council of the completion of the works as soon as reasonably practicable after completion
