Hi forum,
My house is 'T'shaped like this:
[code:1]

with the projection to the rear. I'd like to fill in the corners, ground floor only to make a square layout.
I'm trying to understand the guidance on parts that extend side walls - that's what each corner would be.
Technical Guidance.pdf states:
On page 25 "the width of that part of the extension cannot exceed more than half of the width of the house". Do I take part to mean each corner separately?
On page 27 it suggests the parts would need to join to be considered as affecting the width. In my case the two parts would not join, as the existing projecting structure would fall in between.
Would this again be reason to consider the two corners separately? If not then I can't use PD because the width of both corners together exceed half the width of the house.
Also, the projection would need a lowering of the roof to connect the two as it's a hip, resulting in a lean-to roof spanning the width of the house.
Can anyone please advise? Unfortunately my LA's response is to go for a Certificate of Lawfulness to get the answer.
Has anyone tried this with their LA?
Thanks
