I am building a garden room away from the main house, the plan is to build to a good standard (current building regulations).
The local planner has told me I can go to 2.5 metres with the flat roof, however when you take out the depth of the floor and ceiling joists, the flat roof run off and felt build up, you are left with a slightly compromised internal height of about 2.05 meters.
There area a couple of things that spring to mind, are there any cheats in the construction, OR can you sink the building slightly by taking the ground level down locally (i.e. where is the 2.5 meters measured from).
