A detached garage is to be extended and converted into living accommodation. It is with the curtilage of the existing house. I am pretty sure it would need to be submitted under a Householder Application, but I wanted to check with you. The Council isn't returning calls. Many Thanks

Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly harder to contact Councils for advice, and many services have stopped until further notice. I have a house with a detached garage. The proposal is to extend the garage (it will still be separate from the main house) into living accommodation for...

I applied for planning in October (Householder). It came back as invalid because the roof lights werent shown as a dotted ling on the ground floor plan(?), but that's not the issue. It was validated in November and I have contacted then (12 weeks later) for a decision but they say .... "Your...

Hi All I'm trying to make sense of the Permitted Development Technical Guidance. I want to extend my detached house with a 3.6 m single storey rear extension. The garden is 10m to the rear boundary, so 6.4m would be the new boundary distance. The Technical Guidance states 7 for an extension of...

The difference between my house floor and extension floor is 18mm. What is the the most cost effective way to level them up myself? I was going to go for moisture resistant T and G boards as they come in 18mm and are well within my DIY skills. However, its 38m2 and will cost almost £400. Any...

Hi All, I have spent 20 years designing and visualising for architects. Privately, I have done many domestic planning applications for people over that but I want to progress it. I have a really good understanding of Building Regulations and work closely with a Structural Engineer. Over Covid, I...

As I understand it, the 45 degree rule does not apply under permitted development, but what about a single storey extension outside of PD? Thanks

Hi All, A potential future project, but I already know I have questions for you guys. Please see attached file which is purely a sketch.... 1. Blue lines - Probably the most obvious when you look at the sketch, what is the best way to address the drains to satisfy BC and the Local Water...

Single Stoey PD Roof by designgrey posted 17 Feb 2021 at 5:31 PM Browsing threads on here yesterday, I came across the bombshell that most bungalows can't achieve a rear extension under Permitted Development for one reason or another, mainly eaves heights dictate low headroom inside, or as in...

Two properties (joined terraced) want to infill the yard space at the same time. The extensions are 5.6m from the original wall so will be applied for under Larger Home Extension. Should each individual set of drawings show the proposed extension for the neighbour too? Thank you

Hi All A small semi-detached cottage on a green belt had permission (many years ago) for a 4m rear extension, single storey. A side extension under planning is going to be proposed, but we are told that the council will only be looking for an increase of around 30% of the original building if...

Guys, help me out. I drawing up a 3m extension on a semi detached and I have just received this from the applicant. Did I miss something, I thought it was still 3m (forget larger home 6m)?? Thanks "John has looked into permitted development as his mate has said the legislation has changed and...

A friend has asked me to draw up a drive with access. He hasn't got enough width, so the neighbour says that he can buy a strip of his land to make it work IF planning is granted. Will it need 2 applications, one for each property? Thanks

Hello, I want to apply for a Lawful Development Certificate for this project. I'm looking for some advice. I'm confident(?) that the garage being less than half the house width and less than 4m high will be OK, but I'm not so sure about the proposed bay window where the existing garage door is...

A side garage on a semi detached house sits back roughly 600mm from the front of the house. To extend it forward so it is flush with the front, I guess is permitted development? Is a lawful development certificate the way to go? Thanks
