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 bungalows (it could just be my lack of understanding though ). It doesn't help that my property and plot are an odd shape.
I've got a few questions, any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
From my understanding I can extend out from either side up to 50% of the original house and out the rear up to 8m (subject to a neighbour consultation scheme), is that correct?
The extensions can't be more than 4m in height. I'm assuming a pitched roof is permitted as long as the total height doesn't exceed 4m?
Can the roof on the extension tie into the existing roof (pics attached)? Does the type of pitched roof on the extension matter? as in can it be gable ended, hip ended or is that irrelevant (pics attached)?
Can I add a dormer to the existing roof that faces the garden?
I've uploaded a site plan.
What would be classed as the width of my house the green or yellow arrow (house built circa 1804, I have no idea when the bit on the side was built. It's the bathroom)?
I'm assuming it'll be a struggle trying to get PD to extend out the way of the red arrow as it fronts a highway? Or could I argue that there's a substantial distance between the house and the highway?
I'm assuming the pink line is the principal elevation of my property (Back the in 1970's the driveway entrance was moved from 'Highway B' to 'Highway A' and a porch was added to the rear of the property facing the garden)?
Thanks for any help.
