I read your case but it’s a bit of a different scenario as yours I assume was brick and block construction where as mine is timber and cladding. Yours was also under construction but mines already been built (so changes cannot be made easily or cheaply). If mine was 100mm over the recommended...

That’s what I’m thinking. Because the 40mm is so minimal, you would think they would take any opportunity they could to over look it rather than a big investigation and potential for things to get messy.

The whole garden has been excavated and re laid (patio areas and grass). The only way they could determine the ‘existing’ground level would be to laser back to the house and use the Datum (this would do me a favour as the datum would give me more height).

I’ve just requested to push the site visit back to Tuesday as I’m too worried I will get a jobsworth. I’m gona put another layer of porcelain slabs down 600mm in front of the building to form a step. That will raise me up to there or there abouts where I need to be! My builder mates are...

I can’t hump the soil up as the porcelain patio is laid abutting the highest part of the building. They are visiting at 10am on Friday so I will let you know! Not gona lie - I had a sleepless night over this last night. I’ve spend 15k on the garden room so having to tear it down or make a costly...

Yeah I’m measuring from the highest adjacent ground level. Fingers crossed they are either not that handy with a measuring tape or they aren’t concerned with such a small discrepancy.

I’ve just built a garden room at home which is 20m2 within 1m of the boundary line. The plan was to keep the building at a maximum height of 2.5m in line with what I had read online as the ‘max permitted height without needing planning permission’ but I failed to factor in part of the roof build...
