Hi
I'm looking to build an 8m by 5m outbuilding (gym / storage / games room etc) under PD but want to get a LDC in place even if others think it will only be a waste to help pay for the council's xmas party. For £72 odd its something that will give me peace of mind and when if and when it comes to selling the house, I dont need to prove to the daft lawyer or the buyers about PD rules.
Anyway, given the square area (40m2), that we are looking to build, I will need to site it a minimum of 2m away from the boundary line to ensure it complies with PD rules (if we are to have the total height of the dual pitched roof upto a max of 4m and 2.5m at the eaves) - also due to building regs we would need to be 2m away due to the size.
If the brick wall is positioned at say 2m away (I'd probably go to 2.2m to be safe), does that mean that the eaves @ a max of 2.5m in height and the sloping part of the roof would render the whole thing invalid because it is within 2m? Is it the wall or any part of the structure that needs to be 2m away?
I guess it is the latter. If so, how much further should I allow in the plans to move the wall sufficiently far away so that the roof flat bit (what's that called - eaves?) is outside of the 2m?
Finally, if I have a 45 degree pitch roof, how can I work out what max height by outbuilding is, assuming we go to 2.5m at the eaves?
Thanks.
