Im very sorry but i need some good old plain english explaination for what i need to do for my extension.
Ok so i live in leeds and under the permitted development i understand that i can build a full width lower extension but no deeper than 3 meters outwards from the house then the upstairs level can be again no more than 3 meters outwards and must be 2 meters away from the boundary so the upstairs will be stepped inwards from the boundary of the semi thats attached.

So thats planning side out of the way but what else do i have to do?? party wall act?? will i need this if i intend to build the extension on the boundry with the next door as my house is a semi or is the trick to build half a brick away from the boundary then i dont have to serve a party wall, also next door is still a council house does that make a difference? building control just covers how the building is built so would my builder cover this issue??
I really have no idea what to do and trying to read all the info just confuses me.
