permitted development

Today I received my decision notice from Lewisham planning department unfortunately I've been refused a Certificate of Lawful Development for a loft conversion as the sky light on the flat roof was protruding beyond the highest point of the original pitched roof (~10cm). This wasn't really...

Hi - any input would be appreciated: Permitted development only applies to houses, not flats or apartments. We own an entire physical building, three stories high. The INSIDE of the top two floors are subject to a 1000 year lease, owned by another family. It has it's own access. There are no...

Hello all, I need some advice and clarification on a single story rear extension I want to build. Firstly, I'm pretty sure I would need Planning Permission based on my current drawings due to a sloping garden causing the height of the extension to exceed 4 meters. Also I have a low pitch due...

We had a single story extension in 2011 which is on the rear to the side of our house but where it joins our house it covers approx 300mm of the rear of our house. (Full planning required) Could we now extend the rear of our property within the 8m under permitted development or would we require...

First post...and sorry it is so long ; your advice is very much appreciated! Background: We live in a London suburb, semi detached house with an existing 3m rear extension (3.3m at eaves, a flat roof, built ~8 years ago). We originally applied via full planning for a loft, 1st floor rear/side...

I am looking to build a detached garage on my property. I am wondering if I will require planning permission. The red outline denotes land owned by me. The garage will be 7mx8m to accommodate 2x cars and some work area. We already have an existing single garage which will be removed (shown in...

Under permitted development, can we knock down the existing detached garage (1metre to the side of the house, fronting street) and attach it to the house, thus adding the current 1metre path to the garage footprint? We will also be changing the pitched garage roof to a flat roof, in-keeping with...

2.2m x 4m shed. I've built a timber shed in my garden that's within a metre of the house and boundary, I've been informed by the council that I'll need a building warrant. They've stated that unless it's a metre away from the house and the boundary then I need a warrant. Surely this means...

Hello, Looking for some advice. We bought a house just under a year ago which had had a ground floor extension and loft conversion done under permitted development. Around Christmas 2016 the local council planning office got in touch to say they were acting on a complaint made about the loft...

Hi I have just purchased a 3 bed mid terraced house in Acocks Green Birmingham and am trying to decide if planning application is required for the following setup. I am unclear if a brick build outbuilding define the end of the current building so that I can build 3m measuring from there or...

Right here it goes. I live in a bungalow to which an upstairs with dormers was added is the 70s. There is also a rear sloped roof extension and a small flat roof extension to the rear and covering half the width. I want to knock down these smaller ones and build one back a further 7m from the...

hello all...! Site history: Full Planning permission granted for double storey rear extension & double storey side extension. There is an additional amount of space on the side of house which remains undeveloped, hence i thought i would apply for a single storey side extension under permitted...

Meanwhile, in Manchester :rolleyes: "A mother has been told she needs planning permission for her daughter's wendy house - because it is so tall." www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/37794744

All, I'm new on here but going through a bit of a planning nightmare at the moment and would really appreciate any guidance or help the community can offer! I'll try to keep this brief but want to give the relevant details so please bear with me: I recently bought a 3 bed mid-terraced...

Hi, For the purposes of gaining a certificate of lawful development, are there any planning consultants out there that would care to comment on where my council is likely to think the rear of my house is? Any thoughts welcome. Many thanks. W.

Hi, im hoping someone can shed some light on my new proposed extension. We have planning in at the moment for a 2 storey large extension (front to back) and the planner has phoned my technician to say she wont be approving the scheme because of scale and it being out of character with the...

I am planning on having a large brick shed built against the side of the house (approx 2.5 Mtr wide x 6 Mtr long), it will not be closer than 2 Mtr to the boundary fence and will be inline with the front elevation of the house. I have read through local council PD documents, been on the planning...

Hi I am just asking for advise. I have recently had my loft converted under PD rights. Following discussions with the neighbours it was agreed that I should raise the party walls in brick to match existing house as they intend to convert at a later date. The 20 cm setback was not maintained as...

Had a lawful development application turned down because the proposed rear extension connects with an existing side extension, making it a rear/side extension with restrictions on width. For context, it's a green belt application on a house that's already been extended by around 30-50%, so I'm...

Hi, my semi-detached neighbour has had a 3m single storey rear extension for 15 years and I now wish to do a 6m one under permitted development. I reckon they will object due to 'loss of amenity', however what is the probability of my proposal being declined? At the end of the day they will only...
