Hello, hoping for some advice about PD here please if anyone can help...
We have a house with an attached garage on the side. We have recently installed a log burning stove in the living room which is against the wall adjoining the garage. We have converted the back of the garage into a study at the same time (well, we knocked it down and rebuilt - we had planning permission for that). The stove flue exits the living room wall at an angle, enters the converted garage/study, boxed in above head height, and then goes out through the pitched roof. It is attached up the side of the main part of the house (two stories), and finishes 70cm above the ridge of the main roof.
We thought this was PD as it finishes within a metre of the roof line.
Council are insisting it is not PD because it should not go 1m over the pitched roof of the converted garage i.e. the roof it comes out of. I'm awaiting an official email but chap on phone said this is according to technical guidance. I've read the tech guidance before and just re-read it - cannot see where he is finding the guidance that says it should be within a metre of the "enlarged" part of the house i.e. the garage.
Anyone got any experience of something like this, any thoughts please?
Many thanks
