So I've been over all the submitted drawings for our phase where our house is built as I just felt something wasn't right as we didn't have 150mm above DPC for some of the surrounding ground around the house.
On looking on the local authroity planning portal I could see that, according to the drawing for external levels and drainage, my house should be at a FFL of 185.15 and the house opposite at the same FL level and the footpath at an FFL of 185 giving me my 150mm below DPC.
So the house opposite that should be the same FFL of 185.15 is actually much higher. I complained to the site manager who said he would look at why it was higher, several weeks later still nothing so I went above him. Several weeks and still no answer, so went to the regional director who did speak to the architect and there was a few revisions of the external levels and drainage drawing making several properties 450mm higher than submitted to the local authority.
I disputed that the drawings the architect sent were not on the planning portal and as the house had been raised affecting my house and surrounding neighbouring houses that I didnt think this is a non material amendment or minor material amendment and should have been resubmitted to the local authority for them to have regard to the affect of the change.
They came back under the planning permission granted they do not have to inform the local authority of any level changes, is this correct?
Thanks in advance
