Good Afternoon All
In the summer we are planning on tearing down the current structures that we have at the end of our garden (small shed and neighbouring animal enclosure) and replacing with a new larger summerhouse which will house a treadmill, a desk and some seating.
I have a few questions that I would welcome any input on.
As the building is within 2m of property boundary then I appreciate it cannot exceed 2.5m in height however the current buildings are on a raised concrete platform so does that plinth which is approximately 30cm included in the 2.5m height restriction or can I measure the total height of the building from the top of the plinth?
Also under planning permission, can anyone detail what constitutes a 'separate, self contained, living accommodation and must not have a microwave antenna'? Does this mean that it cannot have running water and drainage?
Plans are yet to be drawn up until we are certain that designs will not fall foul of the above limitations
many thanks
