Hello,
Wondering if anyone knows the answer to this...
Can you build a single storey side extension under PD rights on a house which has had a double storey side extension already built/approved under planning permission?
Original dwelling house as it stood in 1948 was 12 meters wide, it was then extended by 5 meters with a 2 storey side extension quite recently via planning permission (making it 17 meters wide).
Can I then add a single storey side extension (half the original house i.e. 6 meters) on top of the 17 meters created under planning permission to make it 23meters wide?
It is not clear from the technical guidance if the term "enlarged part of the dwellinghouse" includes the existing 2 storey extension or only references the proposed single storey extension.
If it includes the existing 2 storey side extension then I can only extend under PD rights by single storey of 1 meter wide (instead of 6 meters)
See guidance below:
Development is not permitted under Class A if:
"the enlarged part of the dwellinghouse would extend beyond a wall forming a side elevation of the original dwellinghouse, and would –
(i) exceed 4 metres in height,
(ii) have more than one storey, or
(iii) have a width greater than half the width of the original dwellinghouse
Thanks for any input.
