Successful Retrospective Planning

Summer house bloody mahoosive more like!

 

[JULIE GREEN]

My son still has to duck to get through door. What about mahoosive people’s rights?!?

This same neighbour chatted away to us whilst being built & we explained we couldn’t buy a kit. This same neighbour said access his garden any time to paint when completed. Victor Meldrew just hates us!

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

I think you should include that argument when you submit your planning application!

You've obviously fed him too many beans!

Our other suggested remedy is to move the whole structure by 1m all round

Where did you get that from? If it's over 2.5m it needs to be 2m from the boundary.

 

[JULIE GREEN]

Scotland 1m

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

Now she tells us!

Scotland 1m

In Scotland, only the portion within 1 metre has to be below 2.5m high.

so you could potentially alter the roof slightly to comply, which in my mind would be cheaper than moving it.

 

[JULIE GREEN]

Yes - my quote earlier was wrong! Peak of roof approx 59cm above the 2.5m. Hoping maybe a compromise on roof structure can be made. Not possible to have within 2.5 for the metre but can be altered / lowered - but casts no shadow and blocks no view (view is of other neighbour’s gable end of garage) so not sure how this changes anything - but would carry it out. Waiting for planning to call.

(son needs 215cm clear to walk and decking 17cm - leaves 18cm)

It doesn’t look to me like it affects the neighbours garden at all.

 

[JULIE GREEN]

Doesn’t really. I’m really hoping Council thinks so too. If anything to let me stop thinking about it every waking hour lol.

This is not a pop up summerhouse & thinking that moving will cost £1000’s in labour.

How much would converting it to flat roof cost?

 

[JULIE GREEN]

Not as much, and will do if it’s a requirement but we can’t get it under the 2.5m for the full 1m as I think our inside ceiling (from ground with decking) probably hits the 2.5m. Would be potential compromise.
