Hi there
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have applied for permitted development for a 3m rear extension, part double height and part single height. The single height part of our application is because it will be within 2 metres of the boundary with our neighbours (max height of building allowed 3 metres). We were initially refused permitted development because apparently the application is considered as a whole in other words as the highest point of the application (the double height part of the application). Therefore contravening the height maximum height of 3 metres within 2 metres of our neighbours.
We subsequently reapplied only with the double height part of the extension which has been granted a certificate of lawfulness. We now would like to apply for the single part of the extension but have been told there has to be a small gap between the two rear extensions and they can't be joined? I have scanned all the technical guidance and can't find information on this anywhere. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction please? Many thanks in advance! Have attached plans with the rear extension proposals so you can see what I mean!
