Im looking to build a small extension on to my barratts house glamis design. The kitchen patio doors would be where the extension would start. I want to be able to build enough space for a family dinning table. Any ideas what ud be looking at price wise?! I am a plumber by trade i would do the electrics and plumb in a new radiator.
Im looking to build a small single storey extension fir a bigger dining area. 5x3.5meters.. Its a new property i have Barratts home. Theres no drains or power lines where the extension would go. What price would i be looking at? Thanks
Hi! Very informative video, thank you. I intend to build a conservatory at the rear of my terraced house. Can the conservatory have a tiled roof without planning permission? Thank you.
@@betaplanltd5967 Hi! Thank you for your answer. Could you please tell me what is the percentage for glazing? I have read about a rule of 25% of the floor area. Thank you very much in advance.
Great video - can you please confirm the 2m is taken from the outbuilding's external wall to the boundary? Or is it from the edge of the roof overhang instead?
Thank you for bringing it to my attention Mike, I will endeavour to not swallow during the recording of future videos. I am not a professional presenter so you’ll have to excuse me for now.
Great video demonstration. I'm experiencing the same (ish) challenge. I intend on converting my garage to a liveable space (ideally a bedroom). In the garage there is a manhole for my private drains which is very shallow. On the driveway, there is a very deep manhole that connects to the public drains. As part of my garage conversion, I want to seal the manhole in he garage and put concrete over it. Essentially making it impossible to access the manhole in the future. As it is a private manhole for my private drains, do I need permission from my sewage authority to do so?
Thank you, I dont think you would need to apply, on the basis It doesn't sound like you are extending (i.e. over or close to a public or shared sewer). Might be worth a call to your Statutory Water Authority just to confirm.
Great video. If planning is permitted, do I still have to submit my application to the council? I’m thinking of installing one of those ready built outdoor office
Just wondering on a semi detached if you do 6m rear extension under PD, later down the line could you still extend above this to create a first floor under householder app then this way you get max space on gf and then additional room upstairs subject to 45 degree rule?
Great video, thank you. What if the ground from the rear boundary fence to the shed base is on a slight slope? My shed is under 2m from the boundary and I think it’s just under 2.5m high but need to check. If it’s slightly higher does the level for measuring start at the base of the boundary fence?
Thank you, the height is taken from the highest ground level, from where the shed is sited. However within 2m of the boundary it cant be higher than 2.5m.
Great video. Helped immensely to identify the particular challenges to extensions over a public sewer. One thing, I was hopeful to learn what requirements are needed where the sewer intersects an extension and of it's foundations. -Precautionary measures taken to protect the sewer, either through encasement / bridging, or other means. -Unless you've another video covering this aspect? Ty.
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.
@@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.
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.
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 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.
@betaplan what if the house is an end-terrace? Does that mean: 1. You can only do a double story extension to the side where the house is detached? 2. Will this double story extension be allowed both front and back? 3. If you do a front, single story extension, it can only be 3m from the existing front of the house? 4. Note, I have not mentioned a side extension. I’m do not wish to lose the entrance to the backyard. In the future, I want a basement.
Same rules apply to a terrace. 1. No still only the rear. 2. No only the rear. 3. You would need planning for a front (unless its a porch only). Side extension have there own sets of rules. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mYn7ORXebM0.html
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
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.
If a semi-detached house is originally an L-shape, can the bit that sticks out on the rear elevation have a double storey extension under permitted development?
if any of the extension is within 2 metres of any boundary, the eaves should be no more than 3 metres high. This means that any two-storey or first floor extensions with eaves that are more than 3 metres in height should be at least 2 metres away from any boundary of the property, otherwise planning permission is required
Very detailed video. I was looking for something like this for a long time. Thanks a lot for taking time to create this. PS: the sheet link does not work.
No, the 45 degree rules isn't relative under PD unless, (in the circumstance of a prior notice application), the neighbour opposes a prior notice application. The planner may then then consider the 45 degree rule.
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.
If I extend 1m out to the side of house and 3m out the back wrap around is this still not permitted development the 1m side will be right up to the boundary neighbours fence
Do you need planning to go up a floor on top of already existing single story extension house is semi detached and the extension wall is the boundary so no chance of two metre rule
Hi, We live in northamptonshire, and we’re planning to build a summer kitchen in the garden. The concrete slab it’s gonna get poured in next couple of weeks and it will be about 3500mm x 3500mm and it’s close to the boundary fencing of the neighbours, We are a bit confused regarding the height as we re planning to build a brickwork stove / bbq and we’re not sure how high the flue can be not to breach the law. We have been told the height shouldn t exceed 2500mm if you have less than 2.5m from the boundary fence but I’d like to know also how high the flu of the kitchen could be.
Hi, There is no specific guidance for external kitchen flues or chimneys. I would agree with the maximum height of 2.5m within 2m of the boundary. I would put the question to your planning department, to save any hassle.
If on a detached bungalow you want to do a side extension joining into the back of a garage which is at front of house, can it be done. The side extension is not within 2m of the boundary. So does this mean leaves has to be below original eaves of house
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
