bay window in our new build plans, told to put in a repeat of windows already in front of house in pp, was told very serious issue not to follow the planning permission at the time. I know our site layout guy said at time we'd never get bay window as no other house in area with one. any changes to the front of house require planning (in my limited understanding).

I just googled "how to put in a bay window" and loads websites popped up.

Yes, you definately need planning permission for a bay window.
Any change to the front elevation usually requires permission (except "small" porch at front door).

You need an archtiect, not a website, to help design it properly firstly and secondly to help you achieve permission.
I have done one for a pub, another for a house and several for a larger house - you definitely need permission for a Bay Window.
If you are widening the opening as opposed to simply dropping the cill, you will need an engineers input to sort out the structural beam overhead.
Beware of builders who claim they'll do it all for you for nothing - without drawings, details, PI cover and competent professionals you are wide open, even for a bay window.
