I would like to build a small extension to my house across the back of the property. The kitchen runs across the back of the house, I'd be creating a larger kitchen diner. I have sketched a couple of diagrams - now and after:

A few things have occured to me.
One. If the extension were to happen, one of its walls would be adjacent to a public footpath adjoining the road - a pavement. Is this allowed?
Two. The work would involve the demolition of the coalstore/outside bog, which adjoins next door's - the two roofs join at the ridge. Would I just need written permission? Or would I need a boundary wall agreement or something? The new extension will fill the space left by the demolition, as you can see on the diagram, and the ridge will be re-instated, so the coalhouse structure would not be compromised. Another issue is that the coalstore does not have a DPC. I could have one fitted, but this would involve the boundary wall again. The wall in the coalstore is awful brickwork - odds n ends etc. Would a good coat of render or some kind of cement board strengthen this?
Three. Would I need planning permission? Or is this "permitted development" or something? The extension will come out maximum 4-5 feet from the existing boundary.
If I have to submit plans and pay etc, would I need to have architect-drawn plans or would the council accept plans as above, but larger and (much) more detailed?
