Hello All,
I am trying to understand the rules regarding the 4m ceiling height ruling for a single storey rear extension. The problem i face is that the house is on a downward hill so there is a drop of about 900mm from the patio (3m) to garden.
We are trying to submit planning permission to build a 6m single storey rear extension and am struggling to figure out the best way to do it.
Ideally would like to have flat roof and then basically have some steps coming down into the garden.
Is the 4m from the back of existing house? Or back of new extension?
My garden slopes down and to the left. So can i measure from the highest point? Or lowest point?
Have added a picture of the back of the house for reference. Basically the raised patio is about 3m and we would eat an additional 3m into existing garden space.
Any advice/help would be much appreciated.
