Sorry forgot to mention that, yes it will be positioned 100mm from the boundary

Thanks for your advice, I've resubmitted amended plans, I've reduced the ridge to 3.18m, but I've also included a tolerance as you suggested, but I've put +/- 50mm - hopefully this shows willing and is enough to convince them, if not there is still a couple of weeks and sounds like they will...

Thanks for this advice, I've decided to do both, I've reduced the ridge slightly to 3.18m and also put together some further drawings which shows how it will barely be seen behind an existing tree in that neighbours garden which sits directly on the other side of the boundary.

Hi, and thanks for your reply. I thought it must be to lessen the shadow but without going into what direction it faces, it wouldn't really cause that much of a shadow, the reduction of which would be minimal in any case, but as you say that's just trying to second guess what they're thinking...

Hi all I've found this forum incredibly useful during my journey navigating through the planning system so far, and now have another point I'd like your opinions on.. I've applied for planning permission for a single detached garage, the garage would have been covered by permitted development...

Update: I've now applied for planning permission, and I've decided to scrap the idea of using concrete blocks for the parts of the wall you can't see. My next question is how similar does the new brick have to be to my house brick? On my planning application I've said it will be "similar"...

I've checked the original planning permission and supplementary documents, I can't find anything that would indicate permitted development rights will not be in place after the development, which is good news :)

Thanks for the replies, I'll have a look and see if I can find it

Thanks again for your help, I think I've checked it as far as I can, I live in Manchester, I've found that Manchester council have an article 4 in place to prevent commercial premises being converted into flats in some areas and a few other things but nothing that would affect me that I can...

Thanks, I can't really see any issues either, but wondered if I was missing anything. I can't imagine it having any impact on the decision or the planning offer being fussy about it as I won't be going over 2.5 metres until I have the planning permission :)

Hi all Just thought I’d see the general thoughts on this. I have applied for planning permission for a single detached garage, only thing that is not in line with PD rights is the height I want (3.3m rather than 2.5m), whatever happens I’ll be building the garage anyway, can I start building up...

I agree, there's no reason there should be an issue as only I'll be able to see it from inside the garage. I just thought they'd rigidly stick to the materials having to match that of other properties whether you can see them or not, but that would just be silly. I'm now wondering how much...

Well I'd hope we'd be on good enough terms for that not to be an issue, the gutter won't actually be over the boundary but when fitting it my hands might be for a few minutes. I'm sure they'd much rather there was a gutter in place rather than water pouring down the fence. If that's the case...

That's also exactly what I'm thinking, there's no buildings with a pent roof on the whole estate, and if my neighbour were to be building something I'd rather slightly lower eaves and a pitched roof, would look much nicer, especially from my upstairs windows. I'll definitely be speaking to them...

Thanks for the quick and helpful replies guys. I was thinking along these lines. Regarding the use of bare blocks, I had thought about this and realise they may get a bit damp, but tbh I can probably live with that as I won't be storing much in there. Would there be anything else I should...

Hi all The story is.. I'm planning to build a detached garage, having checked the permitted development rules and building regs requirements etc I decided I'd go for the permitted development option but accepted I'd have to keep the total height to a maximum of 2.5 metres (as the garage will be...

Thanks for the quick and informative response 23vc, I knew I was over thinking it, that sounds like the sensible thing to do. Thanks again:)

Hi all Sorry for such a dull question. I'm planning to build a detached garage from brick. So far I've laid the footings and I'm now planning the exact layout of the bricks. The garage will measure (externally) 5.615m long x 3.25m wide, so 25 bricks long by 14 (plus the brick of the return...
