A local LPA, have told me this week that when calculating the additional roof volume you include tiles, eaves, overhangs and anything that protrudes forward from the original roof plane. They even said that there is reasonable argument that the volume created by projecting down from the...

I've restarted this topic coz the previous one 'https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/can-i-install-a-rear-dormer-under-permitted-development.505977/' went a bit off topic but I did encourage it. Getting back to 'The intention is to build a dormer as wide as possibly across the back with its side...

Is lucha libre permitted development or does it need planning permission first?

The original plan was to build a 1200 deep full width rear ground floor extension and to raise the existing roof up and back to provide a pitched roof over that extension. The new thinking is to scrap raising the roof and, with the exception of installing front dormers, to only build that which...

Thanks to all. Not sure where the one piece Lycra comes into it, perhaps some kinky builder thing;)

Apologies, should have said volume. The overhangs mentioned refer to eaves and tiles extending passed wall on a gable, see attached drawings. The software used calculates to 5 decimal places, presumably working to 2 decimal places and rounding up would be OK? I appreciate under declaring the...

I've just been reading an older thread relating to permitted development which has left me a bit confused and because the legislation has changed since that thread I just want to double (or triple)check; so apologies for rephrasing the previous questions. The LPA have already said that they...

When calculating the volume of the roof space for the purposes of permitted development do I measure the height from the top of the ceiling plasterboard below to the top of the ridge or to the top of the tiles or to the top of the rafters or some other point? When measuring the roof length is...

Thanks Tony ur a star. A problem might arise from: 'B.1 Development is not permitted by Class B if— (e) it would consist of or include— (ii) the installation, alteration or replacement of a chimney, flue or soil and vent pipe; or etc etc'. There is a chimney in the way and the toilet vent...

Thanks for the info. I've looked through the April 2017 Final guidance document but can't find anything to stop the dormer being built provided it meets the criteria as you say, but I understand that that document is not definitive so I'm slightly dubious. Nearer the time if it becomes relevant...

Thanks Tony

Not what I wanted to here but many thanks all the same. Any chance you could provide a link to any of the planning appeal cases, I've searched but can't find anything?

I've finally got a design approved by the planning assistant and his boss but its now got to go out for re-consultation, to be received by 2nd Aug for a determination on 4th Aug. I've requested a Planning Performance Agreement (?) be adopted if necessary but they have not responded to this and...

I've been helping a friend with a planning application on a bungalow. After much toing and frowing with the LPA the application is out for further public consultation and hopefully we'll get a determination soon. Part of the original proposal was to extend the rear by 1200mm and install a rear...

I'm trying to help a friend with planning permission on a bungalow she is thinking of buying. So far planning with is not going as hoped because the LPA don't like some of the proposals. Finding a solution is urgent so as not to hold up the purchase. It may be that she drops the planning...

The ridge runs side to side not front to back. The dormer would go in the roof slop opposite the principle elevation containing the front door, which fronts onto a side road. One side elevation (gable end with patio door) fronts main road but has small patch of land owned by someone else between...

I don't under stand what you mean please could you explain what you mean?

The original bungalow has a pitched roof with two gable ends. The (original) proposal was to extend both ends and the rear. The rear roof would be extended up by about 500 and back to cover the rear extension with the two side extensions having hipped roof up to the new ridge height and matching...

This leads on from a previous thread. In a nutshell I've put in to extend a bungalow and fit both front and rear dormers. I've been advise by the LPA that the development requires planning consent and that the rear dormer would most likely be refused. However, they also said if it wasn't for...
