brilliant video. Thanks
It's so rare to watch a video as good as this one. It was a real help. Thanks.
Thank you
Great video! Well done and thank you!
Another great video! I hope you continue with this series. The 3-D representations really help with the explanations.
Thank you.
Appreciated for a clear demonstration.
Well-explained - congratulations.
Really useful vid. Thank you for uploading it.
Great information! Unfortunately, in Scotland, height is measured from the lowest point of the ground adjacent to the building. I wish it was like the English system.
Excellent video. It Helped me right out with the elevation. My garden drops away and I was worried about the max height I could build my outhouse. But now knowing I can take the height from the back of the house and not the land where the outhouse will go has helped me. Thanks.
Great, thanks for watching.
@@betaplanltd5967 your example where the garden slopes does that work in reverse my garden slopes down from the back of the fence, down to the back of house. thx
Yes, the height is always taken from the highest ground level. @@kool-k-kel
thank you sir, great use of sketchup! appreciate the reply @@betaplanltd5967
What an amazing video! Thank you so much for making this 🙏
Thank you.
These videos have been great info. Thanks for doing them
Thank you.
Thank you for your advice
What a brilliantly explained video. Answered so many of my questions.espesially the slope dimensions
Thank you.
Great video 😊
Great video, thank you, its very difficult to find a good breakdown of these rules regarding sloped gardens. I have a question, In the example you show on the sloped garden at 6mins 30. could you have a series of decking clad steps (or concrete steps) at the front that run the full length of the front build?, or are the steps only allowed in the area where the door is located?
Thanks for watching, there are no restrictions the steps width.
Brilliant video this has answered many questions I didn't know I needed to ask. Can you advise in your example of the flat roof garage at 6:18 -how close/far away can the outbuilding be if it's 2.5m high? Your example looks very close to the side fence so I'm unsure what the rules state about the proximity to the boundary?
Thank you, you can build up to your boundary line. The 2.5m height is the max height within 2.0m of the boundary.
Thanks for the videos, they are very informative. A semi detached house I'm looking at has a garage/out building attached to the house. It goes all the way along the party wall to the end of the garden where the garage door is. Would I would be able to convert this (under PD) into another bedroom with a small bathroom and kitchen as it would be a garage conversion?
The only thing that concerns me is the current garage/outhouse does not have a full wall on the garden side, just a pillar. So the structure is the back of the main house at one end , the partly wall running along the side, the garage door at the other end, then a pillar half way along the garden side.
Many thanks for your time
Thanks, a garage can be converted under PD, the walls would need to thermally upgraded, you would end up upgrading the walls by default.
Brilliant video and explanation! Can I just ask if you know where boundary to building measurements are taken from when establishing the 1/2m distance rules? Is it the boundary to the closest part of the building (eg, if you have a roof overhang, the front of the fascia board/guttering closest to the boundary as this will be about a foot closer than the wall of the building, or is it simply boundary to wall?
Reason I ask is I'm considering building a garden room with an overhanging roof.... possibly an open canopy for a hot tub and/or log store (I haven't decided but I digress) and am really just trying to figure out how to lay out the space available ensuring the appropriate spacing to comply with pd while also maximising the space available to me. I have a recessed area in my garden measuring 8.5m x 6m which has boundaries to 3 sides so I'm thinking a 6.5x5 metre build (allowing a metre all around to comply with regs/pd as the building will be less than 2.5 tall anyway but probably constructed of timber with a grp roof). Obviously, if the measurement is taken from the roofline and I do go with this then I can't build in an overhang - a feature I really wanted to try to enable soffit downlighters all the way around ) on the roof as it'll the be closer than a metre.... Either that or I change the dimensions further, or possibly just build 2 seperate 4x4m rooms so they can go right back to the boundary line (internal floor area
Thank you, normally the wall is the boundary, gutters horizontally aren't considered to be the building face, nor is a parapet consider the height on the roof. However, be reasonable, a 300-400mm gutter over hang is fairly standard, a 1m over hang could be considered pushing it and planner could consider that the structure. Also make sure they dont over hang on to your neighbours property.
Great video well presented I have one question. When constructing a building closer than 2 m from the boundary on sloping ground it’s supposed to be no more than 2.5 m high but if this measurement is taken from the highest point of the slope by the time it gets to the back it’s more like 4 m high from the Neighbour view.
So I would guess that the 2.5 m height rule doesn’t apply if the ground is sloping downhill ?
Thank you, It depends on situation. Thinking aloud, if at one point the building is within 2m of the boundary and is 2.5m high, there a case for it. In an unsure situation I would 100% apply for a lawfulness certificate.
A really useful video thanks. Can I ask please if a detached garage is built to the side of the house can it be built on the boundary line or is there a certain distance it has to be from the boundary line? To the side of the house is a side road but it is not the principal elevation. Thanks
Thank you. There is no set distance, you can building as close to you're boundary line as possible. I would just be mindful of Party Wall matters if there a party wall or building in the proximity.
Great video, easy to understand especially when accompanied by the visuals! From my understanding the height of the outbuilding on sloping land is taken from the the elevation closest to the house which would mean you are buggered if the land sloped up as it gets further away from the rest elevation but you mentioned height being taken from highest point only, so whether land slopes down and away or up amd away from the rear of the house is irrelevant?
Thank you, the height is taken from the highest part of the land, not the elevation closet to house. The elevation of the house does factor in to the height of an outhouse (apart from not going past the front elevation). Hope that helps.
Thank you, great video ! Are there Amy permitted development rights to develop out buildings that were already there when the property was built? I.e developing a garage into a usable space like a home office.
Thanks for watching, you should be able to convert an existing garage in to a home office / study under PD. If a structure is already there, a conversion may not require planning permission. Building regulations would probably be required.
Hi there and thank you for the very informative video - when building up to the principal elevation is it ok for the roof edge to be in front of the principal elevation or not - in your video it looks like to roof of the outbuilding is forward of the principal elevation but the front wall is in line. Thank you.
Thank you, within reason the soffits aren't considered to be the principle elevations. The main structure of the building would be.
Best advice video on RUclips
Thank you
Thank you, as always a very helpful video. Just a question please, with regards to the 50%, does that include land to the front elevation? Example, a drive to the front, a driveway to the side and a rear garden. Would the 50% be taken from the total land of all three or just the rear garden. Also, if there is a garage already built in the rear garden constructed same time house was built, would I require PP to demolish and rebuild as it is over 3 metres at ridge but not 2 metres from boundary, in fact only approximately 400mm. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and the comment. (Taken from planning technical guidance) The total area of ground around the house covered by buildings, enclosures and containers must not exceed 50% of the total area of the curtilage, excluding the original house (there's no mention of front or back gardens). The 50% limit covers all buildings, so will include any existing or proposed new extensions to the original house under permitted development rules or that have been granted planning permission, as well as existing and proposed outbuildings. It will exclude the area covered by the original house, but will include any separate detached buildings even where they were built prior to 1948 or if the house was built after that date, built when the house itself was built (for example a detached garage). I don't think you would need PP to take the garage down. The new garage would need to comply with PD or require planning permission. It would be a new structure following demo of the previous. Hope that helps.
@@betaplanltd5967 that does help, thank you.
I have a corner plot with the road wraps around the house as it’s one street would the principal elevation wrap around the as well or just to the front. Great video 👌🏼
There can be only 1 principle elevation. Normally the front door / access elevation.
@@betaplanltd5967 thanks
Really helpful video. Do you know the planning rights for placing a wood fire stove for an outbuilding near a boundary
Thank you. There is nothing specific for a wood stove. However the rules for a structure would be the same as for an out building in terms of heights etc in relation to boundaries. I would discuss with your planning department.
Thanks for the video! I have a similar plot, I'm looking to build a garage but only have 3m to the boundary so wish it to be attached to the side of the house, I was planning to do in the style of a lean-to coming off the side wall with just a simple single pitch to the boundary, there would be no direct access from the property via the joining wall, simply want to make the most of the 3m gap that I have.. there is only a gravel track to the front, properties either side. As its attached to the main house would I need planning?
Thank you, you would need to watch the side extension video.
ruclips.net/video/mYn7ORXebM0/видео.html
Very well Explained. I am looking to building a snooker room which I wanted to build from wood with concrete base. max 2.5 m tall rear garden is massive so would cover only tiny amount of back garden. Size 7 x 5 metres (Minimum Size 6.7m x 4.80) Cant seem to find out anywhere if this is allowed under building regs or whether it would require full planning?
Thank you. You shouldn't need planning assuming it is within the permitted development requirements. At 35m2, you would need building control approval for an outbuilding.
Planning and building control are 2 separate things.
Thanks good video you explain it really well, I have a similar property to this but slightly bigger back garden and not listed or in a conservation area.
If I was to build a bigger outhouse than 30sqm is it just a matter of applying to building control to get it passed and build it to the right regulations. Meaning it hasn’t got to get planning involved at all and if built correctly they can’t take down either?
Second question
Is the a limit on how many outbuildings you could do so if your back garden was massive could you build 2 or 3 outbuildings which were 30sqm internally but complying with all the other rules.?
Also does the 20metre rule apply ?
Thanks, yes an out house over 30m2 needs building control. You can have multiple building, as long as you are still within the other requirements.
Very informative. Are you allowed to install ducts for srvices (water and drainage ect) incase the laws change?
As far as I know, there are no current rules in terms of planning and under ground services, or pending rules.
Grat video! i had a different idea of these rules when i read them by myself. I have only one question, i have a house in the middle of a block, and to get to my house you have like a 30m walkway, so kinda hidden there. Do these Roads rules apply to me ?
Thanks for watching. Yours sound like a mid terrace, so roads shouldn't apply.
Hi, Thank you for making such great informative video! My property is very similar to the property in this video, it’s a semi bungalow, end plot, farmland to the front side and back. I would like to build a timber garden shed to the side of my property (side facing fields), about 4.5m x 3.5m no more than 2.5m in height and as close as possible to the boundary. There will be about 7m between the front of the shed and side of my house, it also won’t be past the front elevation of the house. My concern is that I’m in but on the edge of a conservation area. Do you think I need planning permission? Thanks
It would be worth speaking to the planning department to make sure they don't look at it as being in the conservation area.
Thanks for the video this has been very helpful for our corner plot. I have been confused about whether we can install a shed on the side elevation which is also adjacent to a road, are you saying this is permitted as long as the outbuilding faces the front elevation/main highway ?
Thanks for watching. As long as the shed does project past the the front elevation.
Also, the front elevation would need to be determined.
Great video!
I’ve seen some contradictory information on other websites and from builders for the square meter floor space allowed and I need your help.
On the gov website I can only see reference to the 50% curtilage rule (and my property doesn’t fall under the listed and area natural beauty rule).
On a lot of other websites there seems to be 15-30 square meter rule. I want to create a workshop and a recording studio and make them as big as possible, given the 2m boundary and 50% curtilage rule, but don’t want to get hit with a hidden rule of no more than 30m2 if I can avoid it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
The 50% curtilage rules is in respect of planning and permitted development. i.e. don't cover 50% of the garden space.
If an outbuilding is over 30m2 it would require building regulations approval. Separate from planning and permitted development.
@@betaplanltd5967 ahhhh! I see! Perfect thank you so much for clearing that up for me.
Thanks so much for this - so no outbuildings permitted AT ALL if Class Q agricultural conversion to dwellinghouse?? I think I assumed that as long as curtilage was treated as per Class Q (no bigger than footprint of building) that normal outbuilding rules would apply. Thank you for any advice :)
This maybe subject to conditions from planning. I would suggest speaking to planning if its a specific project.
very nice video…if the land is slope and the outbuilding is within the 2 metres where do measure the height? is it like in the eaves, where it is measured at the highest point? also does the roof have to be flat or can i pitch it as long as it doesnt exceed 2.5m. thanks
Thank you, the height 2.5m is taken from the highest point of the roof, eaves (flat) or ridge (pitched). Neither roof can be above 2.5m within 2m of the boundary. Hope that helps.
Thanks for video, best explanation ever. What software you are using for displaying 3D houses?
Thank you. The software is Sketch Pro.
With the building at the rear you showed the ground level measured from the front (6:33) would you be able to dig down inside? For example, when the front door of the outbuilding is opened, you would walk down steps inside and so the inside floor is lower than ground level allowing an enlarged inside ceiling height?
Sorry. Just for clarity. What i am planning is to dig down 30-50cm and lay a concrete base. Then to have a few corses of bricks around the outside of the building, up to the outside ground level and then timber above the ground. Effectively making the structure look 'normal' from the outside and staying within the permitted development constraints with neighbours and eaves heights but when you walk inside you would walk down a couple of steps to get down to the floor level inside the structure. Is this still within permitted development? Hope this make sense.
@@smudge3991 Thanks for watching. Yes that sounds ok, as long as there aren't 2 stories. There no any requirements for the internal ceiling heights. Only the externally measured heights are the PD requirements.
Hi great video. What would the rule be if the side road was the same road of a corner plot in a cul-de-sac. Thanks in advance
Thank you, in terms of outbuilding the question is the principle elevation, is it the front for the side. If the principle elevation is on the front, the road on the side is not an issue.
hi, can i remove red brick wall fence? it is 3 meter away from road. i would like build one store extra room size 3meter wide and 5.5 meter long, 16.5 square meter, without planning permission. garden door i will not remove, it gonna be separate building with concrete metal bars, stones, red hard bricks, my house semidetached size 9 meter long, 5.5 meter wide, 49.5 square meter. the law says 50% footprint width allowed build without building control, my house wide 5.5meter so i can build 2.75meter wide? or 3 meter will be ok too? thank you
thank you
could you possibly do one on building regulations for outbuildings ? it think a lot of people over look that
Thank you for the attached vid. My current single garage is located to the rear of my property at the bottom of the garden .The garage forms a boundary to the residents to both the rear and side and I wish to extend it by 2metres and add a pitched roof do I need planning even though I have no objection from my neighbours.
Thank you, a pitch roof would probably go over 2.5m in height, so I think you would. As it sound as if your within 2m of the boundary.
Thank you for your response. By extending the existing garage and not knocking it down can I still avoid planning as I wouldn’t go above 4 metres with the ridge.
@@bjjmadicon7080 If its within 2m of the boundary you cant go over 2.5m to the highest point of the roof (ridge).
Would an out building with the floor area 12m X 9m with 2.2m away form boundary walls be permitted keeping the pitch roof under 4 meters be permitted development in green belt? P
My neighbor build a pitch roof 4 metres and not 1 metres from the side path and they said he didn’t need planning
when you showed the building on a slope what if you where digging out a upward slope and within 1m of a boundary would the highest point of ground still be the case from where the eaves would be measured? thanks
Hard to specifically say on each scenario. Its taken from the highest point of the ground. I have known planning department use 'engineering works' term when a client carried out large excavations on a small bank on there drive.
Would appreciate your thoughts and experience please. I have a scenario similar to yours shown in 5:59 and 6:15 except the garden slopes left to right rather than front to back.. I would like to put a garden room on the boundary of my neighbour fence (No.1 ) to the rear. and to the boundary fence ( No. 2) of the side road, where the other neighbours houses are approximately 15m away from this boundary. My garden slopes left to right with the highest point being at fence line No. 1 and approximately 5.5m away from the boundary fence No.2, with a drop off to the boundary fence No.2 of approximately 0.5m in height. If assume that I measure the eaves height at the highest point, and installed either a pent or apex building (6m x 4m internal) then then the highest point at boundary fence No.2 would be approx 3m, would PD still apply or would I need planning permission ?
The direction of slope of the garden bears no relevance, the height is taken from the highest point of land from where the building is constructed. However if you are within proximity to the boundary where height is relevant it maybe worth consulting the planning department, to make sure its not an issue. I hope that helps.
Can you only have flat roofs for outbuildings on the boundary? Surely a low sloped gable roof would be ok providing it's no higher than 2.5?
It doesn't have to be a flat roof, but with 2.5m max height, doesn't allow decent internal head space if you had say a 10 degree pitched tiled roof (that's about as low as tiles go). It is the allowable head space that is more of a concern than the design. 10 degrees over 3m is approx 500mm low. I hope that makes sense.
Re. Shed Height that is within 1 metre of boundary. What if it is on a slope? Ie. We are higher up than neighbour, our garden slopes toward the boundary by about a metre drop. From what I’ve read in permitted development there is a definition of height as taken from the highest point. Can you clarify please?
Edit. I see you’ve got to this @6:35
Brilliant presentation.
Thank you.
Hi, is the 2m boundary all around the outhouse ? I would like to build an outhouse similar to your video but in-line with my house which will have more than 2 meters from one neighbour but not the other side but inline with my house? In other words, moving the outhouse shown in your video to the other side of the garden
Hi, Yes 2m from any boundary around the house.
Hi there, what would the max height be if the proposed outbuilding was on the other side of the garden (left), less than 2m (or in our case, right up against the boundary fence), adjacent to two two-storey properties?
Thanks for watching, the side of the garden doesn’t matter, within 2m the max height is still 2.5m.
2.5m
Just found your video just have a question for you I already have a single garage but want to build a double would this need planning?
Thanks for any help
It depends on the size, position of it and if its attached to the house. Not enough information for me to confirm, I am afraid.
Can a mid terrace have an outbuilding at the back of the house which will have a kitchen but no living space under permitted development rights? If so what is the max height/width if it’s built from back fence to the side fence with no gap. Thanks
What we would the purpose a kitchen in the garden separate from the house be, to run a business? in which case no. That's what planning department would ask if they looked at it.
If the site is sloping, could an outbuilding be split level internally, provided that the overall height doesn't exceed 2.5m where the land is highest outside? i.e. there would be one portion of the inside that has a ceiling height of circa 2.2m, and another portion that has say 2.8m
Split level is ok, as long as the externals are in accordance with the requirements.
a quick question regarding the structure being built at the 6:30 minute mark. If the building is to be merely an outbuilding and not a garage, is it permissible to put the floor level at the lowest point and bring the 'front' exterior walls 'underground' if that makes sense so the building is semi-subterrainian thus increasing the effective internal height available while not including a second storey (just a very tall single storey)? hope this makes sense.
The internal height is not a factor, as long as the external height meet the requirements. So if the floor level is slightly below ground to achieve an internal head height that’s not an issue.
@@betaplanltd5967 thank you.
For an absolute beginner: What will I need to do to covert my small outhouse which is connected to an external garage into a living quarters for a renting (bedroom, toilet, kitchen)? How best to get planning permission etc? Sorry for my ignorance, I have no idea.
Hi, you would need to get drawings prepared of existing and proposed plans and submit a planning application to your local authority.
Love your videos. I hope you keep uploading the content 👍 very helpful just a quick question how can we contact you regarding if we need to ask you help for plan aur projects
Thank you, feel free to drop me an email. info@betaplan.co.uk
Question: Do you need permission from the council after you have constructed the garage you have built within pd rights, to drive over the land between the highway and the entrance of the garage itself? note drop kerb already in place and driveway has been in place and in use for years ( prior to house purchase) garden is turfed with slabs for the vehicle to travel on ( so permeable surface). caveat, there is an easement (a right of way) in place over an aspect of the route to the garage that is access for tradesmen, binmen and the neighbours themselves. problem: neighbours aren't fans of the garage and its route through our privately owned garden.
A bit complex to answer to be honest. Might be worth asking planning. NEW access off a highway generally needs planning. If its your access on your land whats the issue? Solicitor maybe able to advise better.
@@betaplanltd5967 asking planning would mean they know that I am then aware that this may be an issue with the very dept that will hold me to account if they decide it is not permitted. much like indemnity insurance (which we will presumably need if we ever sell our house stating vehicular access to the garage is included, if this question doesn't get answered through my research) asking planning is not an option. given the difficultly I am facing finding if this is an issue it may be better to undertake the activity until told otherwise and then question what the restrictions implemented are based on. I appreciate you getting back to me. Ill take from what you've said in regards to access, my land, my garage, all under pd, if the easement didn't exist pp isn't needed to drive from the legal road side access to the rear of the property/garage entrance. it is only the easement that causes the complication.
@@user-wt7ly1jh3f Who enforces easements I don't know. As you mention testing the waters soon brings an answer. Good Luck
@@betaplanltd5967 easements are enforced through the courts. if it can be proven its been restricted/blocked or interfered with by us as the servient land owners (the ones who have to facilitate the right) in this case. With that in mind it would have to go to court for it to be heard and verified that me driving down my garden is a legitimate problem/restriction of access for those with the legal right to access our property, which probably won't happen but I like to know where I stand, liability is an issue but if nothing ever happens then there is no issue, Ive got a friend of mine who is a barrister looking into this for me, thanks again.
Hi. I have a bit of a wierd garden. There is a car park which I believe is classed as a highway, its not exacly a road but still. There is what you could say is a pavement, its got curb stones etc. Then you come to my boundary wall which from car park level is 0.9 m high, then you go down a path which slopes so the other end of the wall is 1.1m, then turn again 90° down another sloped path and its 1.6m. However the other side of the wall on my garden the ground level is lower so the wall from my side is 1.6m to 1.7m then to 1.8m.
My question is, that wall is owned by me so can I build on the wall iteslf or do I need to build up to it and where would the 2.5m be classed from, my side or public side? The houses were all originally council houses and its a court going round in a horse shoe shape with a common bit for kids etc in the middle. The wall was from the original build when all the houses got built in 1977. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Edit I basically want to use the three existing walls, build one new wall but build all walls up 7 or 8 courses and put a roof on it for a grow room as business and if it doesnt go well then use it as a chill room to have friends round, will have sofa tv etc but no bedrooms or kitchen or even toilet, just an open space
Hi, If your building on a wall, i.e. its just a wall, anything over 2m would need planning. If your forming the walls as a outbuilding with a roof, I would check with the planning department (may be pre-planning advice) to be sure.
@betaplanltd5967 thanks for your reply
Hi great video can I ask a question I sent a site and location plan with my development on to scale to local pd they have emailed me to say I can build the side extension under permitted development on my bungalow which is on the corner of 2 roads, I want to start on this ASAP my question is can they change there option at a later date and withdraw its approval and force me to take it down if say a number of local residents don’t approve I have read that I can apply for a lawful certificate but don’t want to put off starting on it your opinion will be most appreciated thanks
Thank you. If you have had a approval officially (this would be under a householder application or lawfulness certificate) It cant be revoked. If you have had a pre-application advice response, this is usually the opinion of the person who responded. My advice, get it officially if your in doubt. A lawfulness certificate sounds like the best route. They would pick fairly quickly if a planning application was needed instead.
Great video as other have said. I have a question, I am planning a garden building to the side of my corner plot bungalow. The corner plot is a curve as we live in a Crescent, the garden building will not be further forwards than our Principal Elevation (we only have windows and doors at the front, not the side), but do you know how close to pavement and then highway we can build to at the side, our current plans would see the edge over 900mm from the pavement? Many thanks
Thank you, you can build up to your boundary line. There is no stand off distance from the pavement or highway. Assuming everything's compiles with the other rules. I would suggest a lawfulness certificate if there are any doubts. For the sake of up to 8 weeks and a hundred odd pounds, its worth it in the long run.
@@betaplanltd5967 Many thanks for the quick response! We do have an exist fence at the side of our corner plot, but it setback from the boundary (the pavement) by about 1.5m I assume this should not affect us if this were taken down and the Garden room was built where it currently is? And yes we do intend to apply for a lawfulness certificate.
@@sybarnby8933 one thing to bear is mind, sometimes open spaces (within someones boundary) but open to the pavement are looked at by councils as established open spaces. They then have a bit more of a say about whats done with it. But let them pick it up first. Just something to be mind full of.
@@betaplanltd5967 Thanks for the heads-up on that, the area is question is only about 3m x 3m and most consist of rose bushes, a dry-stone retaining wall (as we have about a 0.5m drop down to the bungalow from pavement level) and a paved walk-way around our house, so hopefully they would not be able to claim it as an open space.
@@sybarnby8933 that doesn't sound like it would be an issue.
Hi their, can you please do one of a terraced property side garden to male a large kitchen extension.
Thank You.
Hi, thanks for watching, this is on side extension ruclips.net/video/mYn7ORXebM0/видео.html
Hello , i got question if you don't mind. If i wanna build a garden room/Garage , Height of the building will be less than 2.5m and size of it will be 3x5 with will give me less than 15m2 interior. is this mean i can build as close to the boundary/fence as i want ? obviously is good to leave some space anyway but wanna make sure. And also if on above question answer is yes where i can find this information in written so none of my neighbors will complain this is just to cover myself. :)
Hi, also assuming you are not covering more than 50% of the garden and not building past the front of the house, then it sounds good. You would need to apply for a lawfulness certificate if you wanted it in writing.
I have a corner plot, I've built a garage in the back garden with planning consent, can I attach a small lean-to to it under permitted development?
Hi Thanks for watching. If you needed planning for the garage, I think the addition would also need planning, as combined with the original garage, it would seen as one entity.
Would be good if you did a video explaining Annexs
Thanks for watching. An annex would require planning approval, which make it a little more difficult to advise as it would be case specific.
@@betaplanltd5967 even if it was a temporary structure? I.e. a prefab not bricks and mortar? 😒
@@davidw717 I would say yes. If it has living accommodation.
If you were to want a two storey outbuilding, would you have to apply via householder application?
Yes, it would require planning permission and if its a residential property and house holder application to suffice.
If it is within 2m of a boundary, is the total height limit 2.5, so to the top of the roof or to the top of the eaves? I was looking at building a single slope roof outbuilding
Hi, its to the top of the roof. Not the eaves.
So a timber outbuilding without planning has to be 2meters inside of the boundary s at 2.5 metres high? Thanks in advance.
If a outbuilding is within 2m of the boundary it can't be higher than 2.5m.
If I wanted to make an outbuilding close to the boundary no higher then 2.5m high. The area covered will be around 35sqm. This does not exceed more then 50% of my garden size. Will this be allowed?
Thanks for watching. As long as the area covered is less than half the size of the garden space (no more than 50% of your garden size).
@@betaplan57 Many Thanks
I will be building a garage as in your video at 6:00 I live in a cul de sac with another road running to the rear of the house,so my garage up and over door will be to the opposite end to the one in your video, I can drive into it from the road at the rear.
My neighbor has done the same but his garage is set back from the footpath by about 1.5 m
Is there anything to say I cannot have my garage built right up to my boundary line?
(I’m going to ask him when I see him next why he built it as is)
Thanks
In theory you can build up to the boundary line, within the boundary. There is no specific dimension it cant be built within.
When building an attached garage to the side is there a size limit?
Yes, refer to my side extension video.
If I want to build a outbuilding games room at the front of my garden do I need planning permission or permitted development.
Planning permission by the sounds of it. If its in front of your house.
Can I ask? I have a cabin in my garden to the right and a metal shed to the left, both need replacing so rather than pay for another I want a block building with pitch roof on both how big can I go? On each outbuilding
In terms of sizes, it depends on the size of your amenity space (your garden). Up to 50% including any other additions to the house (extensions).
I already have an house extension that was passed by planning 20 years ago and still have a lot of garden. Does this mean what I’ve got left as a garden? Being 50% and can this be 2 outbuildings and what size can each one be? And thanks for your reply
Also I’m replacing my shed and cabin which as rotted and that usage only not a business or anything. Rather than spend another £6k on a cabin and she’d rather built in block with a tiled pitched roof
@@demakpor42 The outbuildings can't be bigger than the 50% of your garden area and the extensions that have been carried out. i.e. measure 50% of your garden, omit the area of the extensions carried out, whatever is left is your allowance. It can be 2 building but, within the allowance left over.
@@betaplanltd5967 so I need to measure the garden see what’s left and use 50% of that adding up to the other 50% thank you
The outbuilding I wanted to build is quite large (9x6=54 square meters) but still less then 50% of the garden, will this come under permitted development?
Hi, along as it’s less than 50% of the garden. Should be fine.
@@betaplanltd5967Thanks for the reply. planning to build it with double brick walls with Insulation and flat roof of 2.5m, will I need building control for this project?
@@balagajen yes you would need building regulations as it’s over 30m2.
MY FRONT GARDEN IS BIGGER THAN THE REAR ...SO CAN I BUILD A SMALL GARAGE THERE?
No, if its the front elevation, you cant build past you front elevation building line.
I want to build a garage in my side garden, however I’m in a development and my front street comes off the development road towards side elevation of my house. Front door of my house faces away from estate road towards the main road. My side garden where I want to build my garage is located in front of my front door, obviously away up in corner boundary. Would I get away with permitted development as my house is part of a housing development the side of my house facing its access road?
Sorry, I couldn't really advise from the description. I would suggest discussing with your local planning department.
Sorry it was late when writing description was a bit over the place lol. Spoke to planning yesterday, my PD rights are forfeit as I am in corner site with shed location along boundary with main road. Have to go through planning. Have you any idea what max ridge and eaves height I could get with a steel shed close to the boundary via planning application?
@@CiaranMal1 No problem, as you're going for planning, there are no limits, just what they accept. If you building in line with PD rights you would stand more chance. Good Luck.
What about granny flat? Is it permitted development?
Thanks for watching, you would need planning permission for a granny flat.
Do you need permission to build underground garage?
Possibly, certain council require permission. I would ask your planning department to confirm.
Painful to watch
Planning laws are stupid
