@^woody^ Thanks for the info. Here some additional images for a more understanding. Existing Rear Elevation Existing Side Elevation Existing Ground Floor Plan Proposed Ground Floor Plan If i'm under standing you comment correctly, the reason I have sectioned the roof is to make the...

@Leofric I'd like to do my own drawings if possible, because I'm in no rush for the project, and I have the free time, it's fun and it really is a great learning experience. That does mean I have to do it right, and i'm not one to give up because hesitation is defeat. So could you go over some...

Hi, all Side elevation Rear elevation I have drawn the Fascia board on the Flat Roof level all around. Is this correct? Also most Flat roofs I see don't have an overhang. I have a 250mm overhang, is this ok? Are there restrictions to having one? Does my kerb edge trim and guttering plan...

Right, i'll stick with that. Thanks.

Something like this?

@tony1851 Thanks for the very useful info. I'm from Sheffield so no high snowfall I believe. But using your info, I will be using; C24 170x45 joists at 400mm spacing which allows for 3.81m span. With my span being 3.7m Thanks again.

As @noseall said, I wish to insulate the back of the fascia board and soffit to prevent cold spots and condensation. Ah, I see, I was clearly measuring it wrong. Thank you for the correction. So this means that these 170x45 joist are fine to use? Is 0.25 kN/m2 the Imposed Dead Load for a...

From this drawing, what are the correct joist sizes for my flat roof. Some facts; Joist Span 4.8m Gradient 1 in 80 Joist size 170 x 45 [Regularised Size / Finished Size] Spacing @ 450 c.c C24 SPAN TABLE According to this span table A Dead Load [kN/m2] below 0.25 can allow a span of 3.83m...

@Nakajo Haha, my main reasoning was that I assumed there would be a rule similar to the 45 degree / right to light rule for any window that may become covered/shadowed by new buildings. But I now know there is not, so all good.

@^woody^ I see.(y) The reason for asking was because the proposed extension roof's height could block light to the existing window. But now I go as you suggested and take advantage of the full 4m and ignore the window:)

@catlad The extension's height is OK because the ceiling height is 2.4m. So there's no need to put a new window in the existing building as the extension height can be adjusted. So does the extension have to below the window?

@^woody^ I'm not quite understanding what you mean. The dimension for which part? Thanks.

Hi, Does the maximum height for a single story rear extension using a gable or hip roof have to below the existing window? Or can the I go above the window as long as I stay under the 4m PD rules? I can't find anything on the planning portal unfortunately. For example , in this drawing...

@tony1851 Righto, thanks for that. I'll stick to fig 1. :)

@tony1851 I have been looking at some more construction techniques and even though Figure 1 is the conventional way, there are some variations within them. For example; Figure 1 Conventional way you recommended. Ceiling Joist on Inner Leaf Wall Plate Rafters on Inner Leaf Wall Plate Figure...
