It doesn't. I'm going for the part of the legislation that says that the outbuilding should be "incidental" to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse. Again without much info I think that the original poster would struggle to prove that a "salon" (defined as "An establishment where a hairdresser...

You could probably get away with that as a Minor Amendment (it depends on what the local authority are like) You could do a minor amendment, or variation of condition to vary the plan number, with your new plan with the amendments on, but there is a couple of hundred pound fee to that though...

If it is a business, you have answered your own question, and you will need to apply for planning permission - see my very first reply

I wouldn't really worry about the £42 letter. It's not a lawful development certificate, and it's not a planning decision, so either just do the work, if you feel happy to, or apply for a LDC or full planning if you want reassurance. (just my opinion You could always build the building so it...

An outbuilding needs to be incidental to the main use of the house, that's the difference between it being a room in your house, that you may do ancillary operations etc, and an outbuilding (in terms of usage) Even if everyone around it approves of it, doesn't mean it is going to get approval...

It will require planning permission as a salon. You will need some drawings (to scale) showing the dimensions of the proposed building, fill in the full planning permission form (giving them details on opening hours / employees etc) and pay the fee, which will probably be £385.00 (although maybe...

Yes indeed you can do that roof alteration (as per your picture in post #10) and that would get around the problem, as long as the highest point of the roof is then no higher than 2.5m. If you knock it down and move the garage 2 metres away from the boundary, you can then go up to 4m in height...

Doesn't matter - if it is within 2m of a boundary, it's restricted to 2.5m MAXIMUM height. Sean - So as we look at your original picture, the drive / house to the left of the photo is NOT your house / property? If that's the case you would be within 2m of your boundary (your right on the...

Would extending the garage mean that it would now fall within 2 metres of the boundary? If so the height of the garage cannot be any higher than 2.5m in height, so looking at the plan would probably require planning permission.

Maybe they didn't get planning? or Maybe they did it under regulations where it was permitted development?

http://planninglawblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/holiday-lets-may-be-change-of-use.html There is some links on here, and also quotations of some of the pprevious planning cases as precedent that will require you to dig a little more

A forum that discusses legal matters, rather than planning and building matters then, if you need wording in such lay terminology. I assume you are still looking into the Blackpool case law as you decided to not reply to that point.

What Woody says + you do need to prove 10 years use for change of uses (even in residential situations) unlike the 4 years that Napoleon mentions.

You should try a legal forum See if this planning application appeal sheds any light on it or not (probably not, although starts to highlight some points that the inspector makes) 48 Tyldesley Road, Blackpool, FY1 5DH (10/8040) There has been a few appeals in case law in blackpool about when...

I don't think most of this is covered in planning, you could do with a solicitor. Also if this is "According to you" then I don't think our interpretations matter?

One of the more difficult areas. You might be best forgetting permitted development for a moment, and concentrating on wether or not what you are proposing is actually "development". I've seen it argued (successfully) that replacing a window with exactly the same window design / size / colour...

Maybe it's Design Guidance? or SPDs (Supplementary Planning Documents) or PGN's (Planning Guidance notes) The LPA give them weight, and so do the inspectorate.

Again I'm not sure it's down in the legislation, but I would definitely be taking those in to consideration, if they form the widest point of the dwelling. It says "Original dwelling house" only so chimneys stacks etc in my eyes form the dwelling...

Yeah I understand, What I was trying to get at is that if the garage is not original then the wrap-around element comes in to play, and as the OP already has some "side extension" elements then she will be allowed to extend barely anything at all that attaches to the garage wall, under PD (like...

Yes the width of the original dwelling house is as the dwelling was built, or how it stood in 1948 (think that's the date!) Is the garage original? If so include the width of the far wall of the garage to the part where your house ends, and meets your neighbours, that would be the original width...
