vickybear Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Thanks to all for responding on the Planning permission question.We have decided to apply for permission as it appears that LEGALLY it is required, although the various Maire's have differing view points.With my luck I'd end up getting caught - stopping for 2.9 seconds instead of 3 at a Stop sign near Gond Pontouvre cost me 90 euros the other day ( yes, I know all the men are now saying 'serves her right' and the women are saying 'policemen are pigs!' ).My question now is, on the Permis de Construire form section 6 asks how many 'pieces principales' are being created. I understand this means 'main rooms' and somewhere in the back of my mind I'm sure I've read that bathrooms are not classed as 'principale' but I couldn't swear on it. Does anyone know? We are adding 2 bedrooms and 2 shower rooms. Is this 2 or 4 'pieces principales'.If possible I'd be grateful for a response from someone who has applied for this permission or definately knows someone who has and has been successful?Thanks again,Shelagh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opalienne Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I'm not 100% sure for planning permission but certainly for house insurance purposes you don't count bathrooms when calculating the number of rooms, so I would think that 2 pieces principales is probably correct.

French architect Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 It's definitely 2.(kitchens, bathrooms, corridors aren't considered as main rooms)Aurélie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
