Hi
I am keen to know your opinions on this. I have a 3 bed semi detached house with no alterations to the original building and want to add a hip to gable loft conversion with a rear dormer. I've been looking into the Permitted Development conditions and am still not clear if my interpretation of this limit is accurate.
"An extension beyond the plane of the existing roof slope of the principal elevation that fronts the highway is NOT permitted development."
I understand that to comply with PD the additional roof space must not exceed 50m3 and that it is not possible to extend beyond the plane of the existing roof slope on the principal elevation (i.e. a dormer on the front). Is a continuation of the existing plane, as would occur when changing from hip to gable, the same as an extension beyond the plane?
I'd be grateful for your opinions or experiences with this,
Thanks, John
