Guys sorry if this has been done to death but I couldn't quite find an answer on google and wondered if anyone here could help please?
I'm planning on building a garden room next year, I'd like it to be at least 3 metres wide but my garden is only 6.7 metres wide. As my garden is quite narrow I'd also prefer it to be off to one side rather than in the middle, lastly I'm rather tall so the 2.5 metres total height allowed by PD wouldn't work for me. So I wondered:
1. If I went for planning permission to put it less than 2 metres from a boundary, do all neighbours either side and behind get consulted or would it only be the neighbours whose boundary it its close to? I'm pretty sweet with the neighbours on one side, other side are hit and miss and behind are an unknown quantity
2. If I were to dig down 30 cms and build it slightly sunken would this get round the 2.5 metres height limit near to the boundary? (I appreciate this may be a non starter due to damp/drainage)
3. One of places in the garden I would like to build it on it on a bit of a slope so there is about 25cm difference in ground height over 5 metres, is the building height measured from the lowest or highest ground? I read a thread about decking on here that said the height is from the highest point of ground, does this ring true for buildings as well?
Cheers in advance for any help.
