Just looking for some second opinions.
I'm building a new workshop on a corner plot road side, but not beyond the principle elevation.
Within 1m of existing house. Within 1m of boundary. Detailed here :https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/workshop-mk2.636602/.
According to "Permitted development rights for householders: technical guidance" (found here - https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...nt-rights-for-householders-technical-guidance) - I believe the build is fine under class E.
However, the height (flat roof) is limited to 2.5m... but height is earlier defined as...
"Height: references to height (for example, the heights of the eaves on a house extension) is the height measured from ground level. (Note, ground level is the surface of the ground immediately adjacent to the building in question, and would not include any addition laid on top of the ground such as decking. Where ground level is not uniform (for example if the ground is sloping), then the ground level is the highest part of the surface of the ground next to the building.)"
My second row of blocks is about where the pavement on the other side of the fence starts. Am I going to be ok to assume this is now where the height would be measured from?
