Hi everyone
I'm planning a garden room and was left a bit confused over the maximum overall height, if the building is within 2m of a boundary.
I have a sloping garden as per the picture. Fence at the back with a public pathway over the fence. I believe that path land is registered to the church.
The green line is the slope of the ground before my project, and in red is roughly what I hope to achieve, exaggerated a bit to highlight what I'm asking.
I've read that the 2.5m is measured from the highest adjacent land to the building. But with my planned steps down to the building (to allow for bifolds to open), I'm wondering where the 2.5m is measured from (the different coloured arrows).
Another question is now I have seen this page
http://www.permitteddevelopment.org/The-Ambiguities-of-the-PD-Legislation.php
The last point number 17 has a sub-note, which concerns me. That says that the slope isn't counted if it's a detached building, but I can't find the official reference for that.
I do plan to get a certificate of lawful development, but wanted to go in armed with info.
Many thanks in advance.
