If I build a side extension on the gable end of a bungalow and its pitched roof extends up beyond the level of the eaves of the original building, does the extension's roof volume count toward the total roof enlargement volume of 50m3 allowed for a detached building under Permitted Development...

I've re-redone my drawing and removed the rear extension altogether as the important part for now is really the dormer. Do you think the attached drawing will be OK for an LDC application (note the notes which I will change to black before submitting)? See drawing: ElevationsPD004b.pdf There...

I've redone part of my drawing (bottom elevation only) to show a flat roof extension with the dormer set back over the inner leaf of the existing bungalow rear wall. The extension roof is drawn at 200mm depth which decouples the extension roof and dormer wall by about 50mm. However, the flat...

I was trying to avoid a flat roof but if I can't then I can't. One issue with a flat roof is that in order to maintain floor levels and ceiling heights of the extension to that of the existing building, the finished height of the flat roof may have to be higher than the bottom edge of the dormer...

Attached is a drawing of what I am proposing. The second and third elevations detail the proposed rear dormer in grey. The dormer will be clad with clay tiles to match as closely as possible the colour of the main roof grey double roman tiles. The fourth elevation shows in concept the rear...

If I apply for a single LDC to build a loft conversion, a side extension and a rear extension under permitted development and the LPA decide that the side extension is not permitted development does the whole application get rejected or does the LPA grant the LDC for the loft conversion and rear...

I've just had planning permission granted to build a wrap round extension to both sides and rear of a bungalow. Permission was also granted to raise the rear roof and fit hip ends and to install front pitched roof dormers. The original application included a rear dormer but this was changed to...

I'm not into bling

Many thanks

doh! but I wouldn't have expected a pro to be like that to an obvious novice, silly me:( Reading it again it's obviously a ptake, double doh!

The PD rights technical guide states on page 36 'The measurement of 0.2 metres should be made along the original roof slope from the outermost edge of the eaves (the edge of the tiles or slates) to the edge of the enlargement. Any guttering that protrudes beyond the roof slope should not be...

Sorry I guess I'm being dense but I don't understand

Not sure I follow you Gerald especially as Tony's last sentence reads "but the rules now stipulate that the dormer front must not come forward of the wall below."

Could you explain a bit more or point me to where I'd find it?

I was half listening to one of those home renovation programs over the weekend and I thought I heard them say that planning permission (as opposed to building regs) was required where a steel beam over 3 metres in length was required, though I didn't hear what it was to support. I've done a...

I'm a little confuse (not difficult for me) are you saying that the regs say that the arrangement in your first sketch is acceptable but that in your second sketch is more the norm? My understanding is that the 200mm setback also includes the 50mm or so of tile that overhangs the facia, i.e in...

The volume calculated is a gnats under 46m3 so it is getting close, plus 3 or 4 small dormers on the front would be nice but I know planning is required for that. Have you any pointers to that appeal case?

As I understand it the dormer face/outer main wall only needs to be a minimum of 200mm back front the bottom edge of the bottom tile i.e. half way across the gutter ish. Perhaps the answer is to build the dormer under permitted development then apply for planning permission for a pitched roof...

I know very little about Permitted Development and Planning Permission etc but I think it would be very unwise to rely on ones understanding of an inference when spending 10's of thousands of pounds on a PD dormer enlargement that is close to its maximum volume. Whilst an LPA might not normally...
