permitted development

Hi, I realised I posted this in the wrong forum earlier- I apologise to anyone who’s ended up reading this twice. I wonder if anyone with knowledge of permitted development could offer some advice? I have recently bought a house and was hoping to build what I thought was a simple conservatory...

Hi, I wonder if anyone with knowledge of permitted development could offer some advice? I have recently bought a house and was hoping to build what I thought was a simple conservatory - I thought it would easily fall within PD but now I'm not so sure. The house is detached and has no current...

Hi, I'm having issues trying to get what I want via planning so I'm going to go down the PD route and max out what I can do. I've had a read through the 'Permitted development rights for householders' technical guidance but there are a few areas that don't seem clear cut especially around...

Hi, I'm after some advice. I bought my property back in 2016, it's an old (circa 1804) single storey detached cottage/bungalow on a large plot. It's not listed, it’s not in a designated area (conservation area, national park, areas of outstanding natural beauty, world heritage site, the Norfolk...

We are looking to have a garden room built in our garden which is in a conservation area and flood zone 2. I called my local planning department and asked some questions but they just said "we can't give any advice" so I've spent the past few days heavily researching permitted development...

Hi Folks, I've got what is essentially a shed attached to the side of my semi, it's got a decaying flat felt (part torch on, part patched) roof and it needs replacing, but I'm also planning on making better use of the space so want to give it some insulation. The building is 2.3 meters high...

Hi all, hoping someone may be able to provide some insight into what roof enlargements you can make under Permitted Development Class B. I am particularly interested in condition B.2(b)(ii) which states: "other than in the case of an enlargement which joins the original roof to the roof of a...

Hi there. I’m having a really dense moment and I just can’t find the answer online. I’m aware that you can build a porch of 3m2 as a permitted development. In some places it’s written as 3m2 and in other places three square meters. Am I right in saying that this means you can have a total floor...

Hi, We are converting a double detached garage at the back of our garden. It will need building regs approval because of the size (45sqm) and being at the boundary on 3 sides. I am struggling with the roof - The open span of it (5.79m) is not even in the span tables so I am imagining we will...

Hi, I have an existing garage/outbuilding (in greenbelt and a conservation area) that I wish to extend. The extension would: 1. Be under 4m height (dual pitch roof), 2. 2.5m at the eaves, 3. Take up (far) less than 50% of the property's curtilage, 4. Be more than 2m away from any boundary...

Hi, We are in the process of buying a detached corner plot bungalow which has a fairly substantial flat roofed extension which was constructed under permitted development. I would like to do a loft conversion involving a hip to gable over the current flat roof of the extension. This would (I...

Hi all, I’m in a bit of a pickle with the council as I’ve had a planning enforcement letter come through about a raised deck I had installed a few years ago. I believe the deck structure itself would get a permitted development certificate due to the fact that it’s on a slope and at the grounds...

Hi all, Someone has reported a raised deck I had installed 2.5 years ago to the council and they’ve sent me a letter saying: “It has been bought to my attention that a raised platform has recently been constructed at the rear of your property. These works require planning permission. This is...

Hi, We are planning to do hip-to-gable loft conversion. We have our chimney attached to the party wall but there is no chimney on the neighbour's side of the party wall (he has stairs on the other side of the party wall). We want to go ahead and remove the chimney stack above the roof and in...

Rear Extension Rear Extension re-development We are thinking about buying a house in England that has a rear extension. The house is from the 1930s, the existing rear extension was built before the current owners moved in so pre 2011, it is 3m in depth and the width on one side of the is...

Hello all.. I'm researching a loft conversion under permitted development for a semi. By my calculations a hip to gable and a dormer exceed the 50 cubic m volume allowed. What I'm trying to find out is whether a hip to half hip (clipped gable, jerkinhead) roof is still allowed under...

hi all, quick question: I'm reading about the right to light rule of thumb when applying for planning permission and there's a lot of contradictory information out there. can anyone help with two questions? 1. I read that for single story extensions, the 60 degree rule applies. for two stories...

Sorry for the silly drawing but this simple question has been annoying me all night as I try to understand permitted development rights. If I would like to build a rear extension on my semi detached house to the projection of 6 metres back that is clearly allowed under permitted development. But...

Hi, I'm planning to do a 6m kitchen rear extension under PD but I need to leave a slight material gap between this and the existing protruding 3m side extension. I understand there are several appeal case wins about this gap, at the 2.5cm, 5cm and 10cm gap levels. If these cases are in the...

Good evening. We have submitted a lawfulness certificate to convert some outbuildings connected to the house which include an integral garage/stable type space and an outside toilet and coal store into a kitchen diner and utility. The planner is fine with the majority of the application but we...
