Hi, For the purposes of gaining a certificate of lawful development, are there any planning consultants out there that would care to comment on where my council is likely to think the rear of my house is? Any thoughts welcome. Many thanks. W.

Hi, im hoping someone can shed some light on my new proposed extension. We have planning in at the moment for a 2 storey large extension (front to back) and the planner has phoned my technician to say she wont be approving the scheme because of scale and it being out of character with the...

I am planning on having a large brick shed built against the side of the house (approx 2.5 Mtr wide x 6 Mtr long), it will not be closer than 2 Mtr to the boundary fence and will be inline with the front elevation of the house. I have read through local council PD documents, been on the planning...

Hi I am just asking for advise. I have recently had my loft converted under PD rights. Following discussions with the neighbours it was agreed that I should raise the party walls in brick to match existing house as they intend to convert at a later date. The 20 cm setback was not maintained as...

Had a lawful development application turned down because the proposed rear extension connects with an existing side extension, making it a rear/side extension with restrictions on width. For context, it's a green belt application on a house that's already been extended by around 30-50%, so I'm...

Hi, my semi-detached neighbour has had a 3m single storey rear extension for 15 years and I now wish to do a 6m one under permitted development.

Hi People, Can anybody clear this up for me. I am currently looking to extend out at the rear of my property (single story extension only) and half of the extension will be just a covered yard (i.e. the roof will continue across from the extension and cover the yard. The roof will be sloped...

We own a detached house built in 1929 on an old farm estate. The only access to our house originally led from the south (front) of our house down a shared access lane/drive leading to the left, down to the main road. In the 1950s this driveway was given up and access was then down the farm...

I would like to know if it is possible to do an L-shaped dormer extension on a certain Victorian terrace in London. The issue is that the rear of the house, which contains the bathroom on the first floor, has a low sloping roof that cuts off the corner of the room (see photos). My...

I am planning to put a pitched roof on an existing ugly flat-roofed two-storey extension to my house. The extension is on the principal elevation and the propsed roof ridge will be lower than the original/main roof ridge. I assumed this was PD under Class B (Permitted Development) but am being...
