I've been reading another thread about someone's garage and have just learned that if you're building up to a boundary, 2.5m is the max height, not the 3m eaves/ 4m ridge I was expecting. This leaves me in the poop a bit as after the floor is raised approx 30cm in line with the house and a flat warm roof is installed, that leaves me with a pretty low ceiling. Especially when the rest of the house has 10' ceilings.
I already have outbuildings right up against next doors house - a tiled pitched roof sloping away from the neighbours, approx 4.5m tall. These were there before their house was built in 1935 as I can see loads of mortar snots on their external wall.
If I were to use these outbuildings in my extension i.e converting them, do I need planning permission? Any further building linking them to the main house would be over 2m away thus not being restricted to the 2.5m rule
Anyhow, how much faff/cost is getting planning compared to permitted development? Can I avoid this as above?
