I am planning to build a workshop in my garden around 4x5m.
As I understand it i am able to build this with a maximum peak roof height of 4m if it is sited more than 2m from the nearest boundary, or 2.5m if within 2m.
I think i will need to place it with 2m, but would like to have pitched roof which would end up at around 3-3.5m - this is mainly for looks as i dont want a flat roof.
my question is this: as this is specifically not allowed within PD, would applying for PP be a waste of time?
i have spoken to neighbours yet, but i do not anticpate any problems as my house is the only one without a garage/workshop, and everyone elses is over 2.5 and up to the boundary.
My other questions is; how worried do councils tend to get over outbuilding height? should i just get on and build it!?
many thanks
james
