Architect spelt my name wrong on planning application

[Dave Roberts]

Completely understand this…..

The name on the application is not typically critical for the planning decision itself, as the application is tied to the property rather than the individual. However, contact your planning department if you can to confirm if this will be an issue. What I would hope is they just might just note the correction informally over the call and amend it there and then for you.

The simplest way to resolve this is to ask your architect to correct the mistake. Most LPAs allow minor corrections to applications without requiring a full re-submission, especially for typos or personal details. Your architect should be able to handle this quickly. I would just drop him/her and email and say please could you correct the spelling of my name on the planning application as follows. Thanks so much

Keep it short and sweet and let them fix it as it was their mistake.

One never knows if further down the line it may cause legal issues, but typically depends how much of an error they made too.

Hope this helps

Dave Roberts is correct, permission goes with the land and not the person, but your architect will have completed a certificate A notice to confirm you own the property.

To ensure there are no problems if the application is contentious get your architect to email the planning team and confirm the correct spelling.

It should be an easy correction and the Council should be accommodating.
