A Certificate of Reasonable Cost cannot issue in this case as contrary to a condition of the scheme, the floor area exceeds the maximum limit of 125 square metres. On receipt of an appeal, together with supporting documentation, a further inspection will be arranged to establish if the house, as built, satisfies the floor area requirements under the scheme.
