As above. I have planning permission to build a house on an end of terrace plot. I own a workshop on the plot. I may still be using the workshop when the planning permission expires in 2020 so looking to secure a start to the build without demolishing my workshop to maintain the planning permission. The current end of terrace house has a hip roof and as part of the deal to build onto their flank wall, I will be building a firewall as my house incorporates a bedroom in the loft. My neighbour will be gaining a loft big enough to do a loft conversion after the build. The picture explains all - the red diagonal line is the existing roof line.
My question is, would building the firewall and giving my neighbour the loft constitute a 'meaningful start' to the build? That has to be done anyway so not really an extra expense.
