Garden Room

If I wanted to put a garden room on my existing decking.

Will the height of the decking count towards the overall height of the building?

Well, it ain't gonna help.

Height is measured from natural ground level. Where you have a slope, it’s measured from the highest point adjacent to the structure.

And then the decking becomes a verandah .... which is not permitted development wherever height is measured from.

Really?

No way it would form permitted dev?

Even if it covers a small area?

We’ve got rock in our garden

Our decking is 1 cm off the rock at one end

And about 30cm off the ground at the other end.

We’ve been thinking off a summer house and already have the decking so conserving using that as the foundation
