Hi all,
I hope you don't mind me posting this, but looking through all the guidlines is a nightmare, and I was hoping someone would be able to put me straight in terms of the actual rules.
I live in a 3bed-semi (ex authority house), and as I understand it I can add an extension without planning permission providing that it is no more than 3 metres from the house and is a single storey. First up, could you confirm that this is the case, or have I misread?
My second question, is what is the definition of a single storey in terms of the roof? If it has a pitched roof at a rightangle to the house, how high is this allowed (if at all?).
And finally, can the extension be flush with the edge of our property, or does there need to be a gap left between us and the other half of the semi?
thanks all...
