Can anyone clarify what this means? I'm thinking of adding a DIY extension to the back of the house, but I'm not confident in my bricklaying skills (not to mention it sounds like hard work). I am however confident I can DIY construct it out of SIP's or a wooden frame and clad it externally.
The house currently consists out of: red bricks (approx 40%, mostly on the side elevations), yellow rendering (approx 40%, mostly on the back and front), wooden cladding painted red (approx 10%, only on the front).
Would prefer the Permitted Development route to save some money.
I was thinking:
Step 1: paint the red wooden cladding to the colour we'd like the new cladding to be (blue?)
Step 2: start construction of the extension
Step 3: replace the blue wooden cladding with the new blue (?) cement cladding
Step 4: finish extension
Step 5: clad the exterior of the extension
However is the fact that approx. 10% of the materials used in the construction of the house were cladding enough to fall under PD? The wording is too vague for me to figure this one out.
