Hi all,
Land behind is agricultural plot. Not listed property nor conservation area or area of outstanding beauty. I want to create a garden office at the bottom of my garden.I will not be having any visitors when used as garden office. Size 6m x 3.5m. Height under 2.5 m flat roof. Not planning to sleep in the outbuilding. However I might put a sofa bed and use to watch TV overnight might be 3 to 5 days in a year.I am h planning all round insulation and heating and fan in summer.
I am going to be 2 meters away from neighbours on both side. However I want to leave a gap of just half a meter to boundary at the back next to agricultural plot.
Am I rIght in thinking no planning permission needed. But building regs will apply since rear boundary within 2m. Does using non combustible material exempt the 2m rule and building regs approval. I don't want to lose space in garden hence planning to build close to rear boundary illustrated in yellow in my rough illustration.
Thinking of concrete base and SIP panels and wooden cladding for exterior, I want windows on rear of outbuilding to enjoy the view. Not sure above is classed as non-combustible material.
Is my above assumption correct.
