Hi All
Would really welcome any advice clarification anyone can give.
We are in the process of buying a victorian semi detached house (currently flats).
House is classic L shape at rear. We were hoping to extend into the side extension to square things off and then extend to the rear across the back of the whole house
From what I had understood (not much apparently !) I thought we could extend up to 6 metres to the rear?
However planning have advised that the measurement for extending to the rear would be taken from dining room window i.e the bit that we were hoping to square off and the furthest back, meaning that even if we were to use the maximum 6 metres the projection of the extension at the rear would only be a maximum of 1 metre.
Hope this makes sense in some way, if anyone could clarify I would be so grateful, going round in circles.
Have to make full planning application to convert back to one dwelling, and had (now it seems wrongly)thought that extension could be done under permitted development. If requires full permission not able to produce detailed plans that quickly to make one application and hoped to avoid paying 2 full planning costs.
Thanks a million
