That's a shame I think you'll have to bite the bullet and get permission but remember what goes around comes around to oh mr grass next door, I bet it look's the business though always like the decking over a sloping garden.

How much above 300mm is it? Also is it on a concrete or over grass area?

Have they come out and inspected it then beofre issuing you with a letter etc? How big it the decking area in question does it take up more than 50% of your garden?

Hi, I am affriad the problem lies with yourself and not the builder of the decking, When it comes to planning it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the correct plans are submitted etc. Can I ask how the planning office found out so quickly?

I have taken a look at the building regs before but doubled checked the link you sent through and I am fine, As it will not be above the height of 2.5m as the plan is to have a flat sloping roof, the overall size will be within what is allowed and also it will not be used as a habitable room...

I Don' t think I can get a shed as big as I am looking for which is 6x3 metre, I also want to put french doors in their. The room will be used soley as a play room but will have electrical items (tv xbox etc), The pressure treated timber would be for the flooring only.

Hi All, If you have read my previous threads regarding building a single skin extension then this is what we have decided to do. Our builder visited yesterday and we went through what we were after he suggested as the extension was to be used as a play room that he would construct it entirely...

I will of course do the above and will consult with my builder who I have known for a long time on his return, I will try and do as much labouring as poss to save on costs also but have wondered what sort of depth I am looking at for the fooings? If this was a normal extension I would be maybe...

Cheers of that I will discuss what you have said with my builder when he returns from hols.

I have been looking online and talking to the Mrs and we think it is best really that we go for a play room, Not really thinking of planning permission etc we want to block build a single skin extension off our excisting french doors and insulate the insides, We will then have the outside...

Was thinking of block building and render the outside

Not cheaper? Would it not be much cheaper to do it single skin?

When I posted this post on another forum it was blasted down basically that it can't be done because of regulations etc etc.

Hi All, I was wondering why people can't build single skin extensions if their sapce is limited and insulate with batten and insulation boards, People who covert their garages insulate them alright with only 1 skin so wondered why it is different?
