If it is a secondary window you will probably be fine on that front as they have another avenue of getting light into the room. As Wessex states, the policy will say something like "good design" which can then be used / interpreted how the planners see fit. They will usually also have some...

Maybe you need to send him a wideo.... Planning Permission is not needed. In this instance, judging by what is provided, you will want to speak with a decent builder and get him to do the job for you.

If the dimensions have been stated then I would agree with what the planners have said. In reality unless the changes are going to be hugely significant, no one is going to be bothered. From the planners perspective, allowing you to carry on under this application and building it differently to...

If the application needs a new red line (and probably a separate ownership certificate) you may as well put a resubmission / fresh planning application in. You can put some flashy visuals in if you want, but it's not really that worthwhile; a supporting statement that states "materials to match...

No, just that specific condition (or how it was typed) doesn't really pass the 8 tests in regards to conditions. A planting condition for X amount of years may do, something similar to John suggested has been put on a few applications I've seen. It's different having general landscaping plans...

Both posters are right in a way. It's a bit difficult without seeing the proposal and seeing the street scene / context it is siting in / any other conditions. Planting is an appropriate condition to put on some applications. Maintaining planting at a certain height isn't really that...

Block plan / site plan. Basically the Authority is going to want to know as much as possible about what you are proposing. Where, What, how high, how many beds, parking, garden etc. Without some of the information they may not be able to give advice in regards to the suitability of the scheme...

That house you posted a link to is debatable. There's been a few bits of case law on this (one where properties were close to a river and they referred back to the old Ordnance Survey maps at appeal) but I can't recall the sites off my head. I don't like the fact the doorbell is at the 'rear' I...

You can get away with repair or maintenance on various structures, however if your knocking it all down and replacing, that's technically going to require planning permission (subject to the heights adjacent to the highway) You could repair or replace the 1m high fence panel on top of the wall...

I would like to think that your proposed shed sits in the rear garden. The main access road and all the cars park at the 'front' and you and your neighbouring properties share amenity space to the 'rear' It's pretty tough though, without knowing the area and getting the feel for it, also...

I have dealt with 1-2 of these over the past couple of years. As I remember, flues on outbuildings or rear extensions were not explicitly covered by permitted development regulations. I think you would normally fall back on the general height of the building as I doubt the legislation was there...

Little bit late to the party on this one, but my general view is basically that of Napoleons a few posts ago. If it projects from the side, no matter how much, then its a side extension. It will catch some out, but it either does or doesn't. If it does by a 100 MM you need to comply with the...

If you are attaching it to the main house (which it seems from the photos) it is going to be classed as a rear extension to the house for permitted development regulations. You are almost certainly going to need permission as you are extending out more than 3 metres from the house. Also if you...

That condition is a bit poor, I see both points. If you reallly want to fight it / don't want to paint the part of the extension / development, it could be worthwhile letting the notice be served and appealing and seeing what an inspector says. Just be prepared to paint it if it doesn't go your...

Yeah pretty much. You shouldn't really include the paving area, unless it is a significant structure in its own rights - then you might judge it by different PD rights anyway (I.E. You can't pave half the garden, put a structure on it and then measure it from the highest point of the paving, if...

No maximum in floor area for planning permission. The only restriction if you are off the Boundary is no more than 50% of the curtilage (the garden) is taken up by outbuildings / structures. Building regulations may be required, usually over 30m2. You measure the 2.5m height from the highest...

It's just a minor point.. As long as you are clearly adding a rear dormer and not a side dormer (depending on the layout and orientation of the house / roof - based on your corner plot comment)

Should be - see mine / woodys previous responses. The only thing you need to check, as I mentioned before, is that you don't exceed the cubic volume allowances by any alterations creating roofspace. Shouldn't matter too much regarding a rear dormer, as long as you are comfortable where the...

I think my view would be contrary to that of Blup - but we would need more details of the planning application / proposal. Is the only reason they are refusing the application the rear dormer? also what "other work" are you going to be granted permission for? You need to be making sure you...

Didn't see this post before - I had always thought it quite common knowledge / straightforward though. If it is an original attached garage, then I would be extremely confident arguing through an LDC / Appeal that you include that in the width of the main dwelling. The definition of 'original...
