Hello,
My wife and I are wanting to extend our home, a semi-detached property.
I think I know the answer to this, however...
We are wanting to build a two-storey side extension, with roof conversion, with a gable-end (to maximise the roof volume). The total roof volume created would be just under 50m3, but the extension would still require planning permission- it would be pretty close to the boundary.
There is an access road along the boundary in question, so no danger of getting close to the neighbouring property. There are a few other houses in the street with gable ends, these were created under PD.
Any advice on increasing the likelihood of getting permission for the gable end? Would it help if we were to do a hip-to-gable under PD, and then apply for the extension?
Neighbour in the semi-detached has a hip roof at present, but is supportive of the plan.
Thanks!
