I'm thinking of building a timber double garage in the garden and intend to build to the maximum 30m2 (leaving a metre between the structure and the neighbouring boundaries).
I gather that if the structure is a metre from the boundary the maximum height permitted is 2.5m.
The question I have is this....
If the structure is a metre from the boundary does every part of it need to be no higher than 2.5m or could the ridge (dual pitch roof) extend to the max 4m if the said ridge is over 2m from the boundary if you get my drift?
Just to clarify that in this circumstance the structure needs to be a metre from the boundary as I haven't the space to build it 2m away and will measure 5.5m x 5.5m. The ridge will therefore be 3.75m from the boundary (1m boundary spacing plus 1/2 of the 5.5m width). The government portal doesn't seem to make it clear as to whether part of the structure can be built to the max 4m if that part is over 2m away!
Any guidance much appreciated
