Lar,

This situation has happened to a number of people. The scenario goes something like this: You contracted an architect to draw up plans for your regular 2-storey extension. He arrives, takes a look around and mentions that you could actually fit a full house on to the site. The dollar signs appear, you see all the new options and readily agree to the project. The architect draws new plans, very impressive ones. You get even more excited. The planners don’t. Your architect draws up more plans. Less impressive – you are now looking at 2 smaller houses. But you are into it. Meanwhile the neighbours view you as a property developer, convinced that you will move rather than live in one of your 2 small houses. Then it gets mrssy. My advise – Just go with the original plan, extend and enjoy your space.:)
