I am in the process of applying for planning permission for a single story detached workshop to the side of my house. Behind the principle elevation, but as it's a corner plot, I am subject to planning permission. Building will be block built, just shy of 6x3.8m & flat roof.
I have already excavated to ~400mm below grade as part of putting a play area in some years ago, so even with a total building height of 2.7m, I'm under 2.4m w.r.t the pavement.
Construction will be inside the fence line that exists at 1.8m tall, so only 0.6m will be showing above the fence, half of which will be uPVC fascia and the EPDM edging.
High level obscured glazing windows to the SW end. Composite door and window into garden from NE end.
I will be retaining an existing walkway 0.85m wide between the main dwelling and the workshop wall.
Of the properties behind me and on the other side of the side road to the North, I have the shortest garden fence at 1.8m. Behind me is 2m, and across the road is 2.4m. Both properties also have timber buildings hard against the property line protruding visibly over the fence line.
With my proposal, I will exclusively restrict the view of.... my house wall.
So, before I commit too many of my hopes and dreams (and money) to this application. Are there any obvious gotchas that I'll likely fall foul of? Currently worried about:
1) excavations adjacent to highway - (is this even a concern of granting permission?)
2) Proximity to main dwelling
3) Height above fence
4) painted blockwork finish w.r.t brick house finish (roof, & windows are already replicating existing finishes)
It clearly won't actually be red, but this is a very rough view from street level, will be doing this properly on any full application.
Any thoughts welcomed
Cheers,
Fubar.
