Evening all...
I am thinking of building a summer house / garden pun in my garden, having read the permitted development policies of my local council I am a little confused, wondering if anyone can offer some clarification, either Frome experience or knowledge of the law itself...
I intend on building it within regulations, with a pitched roof. I understand that the height allowable is measured from the highest ground near the building, however, the garden next to the planned build area slopes upwards into the patch of woodland >40m up above the roof. Does this mean, that it cannot be built under PD because I wouldn't be able to get the 4m from the highest point on my land?
I've attached a rubbish sketch to hinder you all, and my neighbours on the west (left of the sketch) have a garden wall that is higher than the planned roof height of the development.
