Hi there,
We live in a 1930's semi on a decent sized corner plot. We had a meeting with the council planners and they agreed we had potential to build a small bungalow at the bottom of the plot/garden. This is our long term plan but in the meantime we plan to develop our current plot with a rear extension under PD (coming back 3 meters)
I have a couple of questions regarding separation distances
1) If we develop our current plot under PD with a rear extension coming back 3 meters will this affect the future planning application for the new dwelling at the bottom of the garden? I ask this as under PD there needs to be a minimum of 7 meters between the back of the extension and the rear boundary of the property but if we want to split the plot then this will be reduced to under 7 meters
2) The bungalow will be perpendicular to our house with no windows on the elevation facing the back of our current home. What are the rules about separation distances between the new dwelling and neighbouring houses? It seems that these only apply when they have windows facing each other?
See photo- rear extension to replace conservatory and shaded yellow Proposed location of bungalow shaded in red.
Thanks
