Just wondering if you could give me any pointers to do with a very large outbuilding my neighbours are erecting.
It is near as dam it 2m from our boundary (might be a little under in one location but i would not want to rely on that). The building is approx 10m long x 4m wide. The neighbours garden is raised approx 1m higher than our and the building at the lower end is including the slab it is built on about 3.2m to the eaves at the other end it is near as dam it 2.5m. we are looking at building by the time the roof is on approx 6m higher than the ground on our side.
Questions are
Is there any limit to the size of outbuildings under PD?
The principal of measuring from the highest point is surely flawed? If my neighbour were to lengthen the outbuilding by another 6m due to the slope at the other end the building overall height would be 10m plus!
The limit on overall height of 2.5m when within 2m of the boundary, i believe the act says ANY part of the building could this be taken to include foundation slab on which the wall sits?
Would a building b(lock walls) of this size need building regs?
many thanks
Paul
