Thanks for the suggestions and I’d look at a reverse lean to as option 2. We’d like the lean to glass roof to bring in more light but yes downside is less downlighters…

Lol I know but I wanted this design from the beginning but worried that building controls will object the idea of using balcony as roof. SAP calculations were done and BC approved.

Hello all, Getting an single storey extension done at the moment but first floor balcony is restricting the height of the lean to glass roof. I have attached a photo to show the balcony. The latest designing thinking is to utilise the balcony as part of the roof so we have part roof part...

Cheers Woody. Spoke to building control and they’re happy with dense concrete blocks :-)

Cheers Woody for confirming. Thought it would be the case.

Hello, I live in a townhouse with internal garage and I'm looking to replace my garage door with a wooden garage door with window panels. Do I need to get planning permission? I know this does not change the footage of the property so technically would not require planning but the style of the...
