We live in a terrace of five houses (second from the end), 1950's brick built. We have a small 'outhouse' with downstairs toilet and what was presumably a coal store, this is adjacent to the boundary and projects 2.7m into the garden.
We have a sewer pipe (and access cover) which runs across the rear of the house beyond the 3m extension at a depth of about 1.2m.
We would like ideally to build a two storey full width extension (with pitched roof) to use the full 3m depth. The local planning department don't seem to encourage 'informal' questions and even pre-planning advice needs to be submitted in writing with drawings.
Is this sort of extension likely to be allowed, what sort of issues are likely to be raised? I just want to get an idea of the sort of objections likely to be brought up by the planning department.
