I did some remodelling inside my house, mostly opening spaces by removing a couple of walls. I re-did the kitchen and two bathrooms. I also added two carports, one in the front and the other at the back of the house. I now only need the new plans to submit to the municipality for approval of the work already done. The are no extensions of the house itself. I have the current approved plans from the municipality in my possession. I showed the changes on the attachment, see my notes on the bottom of the first page. Thank you.
