Permitted Development in a rural area

[ademco]

Hello there, we have a smallholding of near 4 acres. The garden is just shy of an acre. We are looking at building a carport on an existing site which was a pre-fab garage. the area involved would be to the rear of our property near to an unclassified country road. The new building would be 3 meters from our property boundry which is the small unclassified road. Would it come under permitted outbuildings as it would be under 30 square meters and ridge height of under 4 meters?

So it's replacing an existing structure?

The floor area has nothing to do with with PD.

Providing the structure complies with the rest of the PD criteria for outbuildings, then fine.

The 30 sq m criteria relates to exempt buildings under Building Regs and is unrelated to planning.
