Hi first time poster on here. I am a structural engineer by trade but now and again get asked how big can i build my extension and sometimes the Permitted Development guidlines online just don't clarify certain things...
looking to build a side extension to an existing bungalow (not designated area) but the side extension is 'L-shaped' in order to prevent loss of light to two existing windows.
i understand width of new extension must be half the width of the main bungalow, the eaves height cannot be any higher than the existing (and less than 3m), the maximum height is 4m, 2m from the boundary,
therefore i believe the extension would 100% be PD if the extension was closed off rather than L-shaped. does the shape complicate the PD rights in anyway or is the worry over nothing?
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
