PD rights when planning application already approved?

I'm buying a house that has a planning application approved for a large two storey side extension. I don't want to build the proposed extension as its too expensive, but instead just want to do a normal 3m single storey rear extension and loft conversion that would both come under PD. Can I still build the PD loft and rear extension even though there is a planning application and will it still get a CLD? And if I do, will the planning still be valid for the future if we did decide to also build the proposed side extension at a later date?

Yes, you can build out PD works without it affecting the full Planning works.

Should the rear extension and loft conversion comply with the PD requirements, then you can submit an optional LDC application to your Local Planning Authority.

Planning approvals are valid for 3 years. Once you make a material start (usually foundation excavations) within 3 years, you can take as long as you want to complete them.
