Hi.
Can someone please advise me on the process of permitted development.. I seem to be going round in circles with various builders and architects who are not telling me plain English.
Background. Ambitions to build Single storey rear extension. 4.2 metres depth. How I understand PD rights have been extended to 6 metres for a semi detached.
How I understand it is as follows.
1. I contact council with all the relevant sizes.
2. They contact all neigbours asking if they have issues.
3. If there are no issues. The development can go ahead.
The issue we are having is that the extension is likely to fail on the 45 degree rule. My neigbour has a window quite close to the boundary wall. However he has a half house width extension so light is going into that room. Also my neighbour is pretty chilled out and I don't think that he will be overly fussed as I have told him our intentions and he seemed all OK. . My question is can the planning authority still block this application even if my neigbours do not object or have any issues? I have asked the archietect and he quoted the following. Which confused me further.!!!
The 45 degree issue may still be relevant, as per the document stating:
a. that as no objections were received from adjoining neighbours it has not been necessary to consider the impact on amenity, or
b. that following consideration, it has decided that the effect on the amenity of adjoining properties is acceptable.
Am I missing something?
Clarification would be greatly appreciated... VMT
