    Definition of 'Natural Ground Level'

    Thanks, taking a line form the neighbour may work - but if theirs is still a slope (which I think it is), is the highest part at the back the natural ground level, or the mean of the top to bottom of the area that matches mine?

    Insulating a Deck Frame as Base for Outdoor Bar/Workshop

    Thanks newboy. Footprint will be within 15sqm and total height will be max 2.5m, so shouldn't require permission. I can't go back on the base design (it has to be on the deck frame), so I will adapt the outbuilding to be suitable for the wooden deck frame - even if that means compromising on...
