Glad I found your channel. I have no gig in this game being a technician but in 1981 I learned in a craft lesson how to draw on a board with T square etc. I was 10. From that moment I wanted to be an architect. I’ve always loved buildings of all ages and designs and consider myself reasonably creative. Somehow I ended up with a love of electronics but hey ho. I know I would have earned a lot more over the years and with better job satisfaction perhaps if I had not taken that fork in the road. Who knows. Great channel anyway 👍
Great video. If I’ve understood correctly, I can build a garden office at the bottom of my garden if it’s a) less than 50% of the rear garden, b) less than 2.5mt high to the eaves and c) right up to the boundary…
@@darrens3 I’ve left a 60cm space - enough to pave and walk around. Ive clad the rear and 2 ends with anthracite grey steel on a floating frame and it actually looks cool 😎
Sounds like uve already builded ur garden room but under PD right the whole build can be no higher than 2.5m if within 2m of boundary. Not just eaves below 2.5m and the top say 2.7m
I've applied for planning permission as I want the extra height but close to the boundary 2.8m and while waiting for planning I've done a concrete slab 14cm thick. And been told that I shouldn't of done it and if planning fails to rip it up. But I thought if it fails I can build a small garden room under 2.5m under PD rights
@@bradparsons3973 the concrete slab wont be an issue brother. All I would say is wait, be patient and see what happens with the planning permission as you’re very right, if you don’t get it then you can just keep your build under 2.5mts. I would advise getting a certificate of PD (I paid £216) if permission is denied though. The neighbour at the bottom of my garden reported that my build we too high. The council wrote to me and I sent them the build photos showing the slight sloop of the land and one showing the height to the highest eves which was 2.46. The council accepted my photos and closed their case.
I built an outbuilding in my garden at the back which was previously a garage made from wood and cardboard. Architects I can build without planning permission. Unfortunately someone complained and now I have a PCN OF UNAUTHORISED CHANGE OF USE OF OUTBUILDING 😮 THE officer came before this to me to take measurements it was only 2 to 3 inches in height he said but he said that shouldn't be a problem. However I guess they have some sort of problem.
How would one go about finding out if a house has used up it's 'Permitted Development' rights? .. Currently house searching and seeing a few houses where they've built lean to's and one has a lean to on the side of the property which they've also attached to the garage. Would a Lean to be considered as using up the Permitted Development rights?.. and what would be the procedure of wanting to knock that down and creating a single side extension to replace it?.. Would we not be allowed.. of course this is all hypothetical but i wouldn't want to buy a property in the hopes of extending only to find out we couldn't because of some 'Permitted development' nonsense... Great videos by the way, very informative! glad i stumbled across them. Keep them coming for sure!
i currently have a small prefab garage at the end of my garden leading to back lane and i would like to build a bigger garage/workshop in the same spot under permitted development, the garage is on a concrete base that is level with the road in the back lane of my house but is about 20 cm higher than the garden right next to the concrete base and because of this im unsure where im supposed to take the measurement for the 2.5m max height
My question I'm looking for an answer to... We've bought our new home, moving soon. It's detached but with suitable privacy. Cul de sac situated. So, it possess a detached garage, garage is concrete base, block wall/render, tiled roof. But I want to extend, widen, rise the extension of the garage. I want to install a 2 post lift and then rise a car and stand under it. I intend to cut a section out, dismantle the portion to the rear. Pour the new concrete, build the block, add the new roof. Would this require permission as yes, the garage already exists, but I am modifying it. It wouldn't have any impact on others.
So if I build a small annexe for my Dad who cares for me, would this be allowed as permitted development because he’s my father & I need him to live with us to care for me but he needs his own space. Could we follow all the rules. Would he be allowed his own separate kitchen & toilet & shower room, he would still need our mains amenities.. I’ve been looking at small garden rooms to cover building regs as he will be living & sleeping in it.
So ive been seeing online that if i want to build a summerhouse it can only be 30m2 internall measurement, now im hearing it can take up 50% of the gardens including the house, so which one is it? Also, is the 2.5m height rule from the highest point in the garden or from the nearest point to a boundry?
Does my neighbour need planning permission to lay decking in there garden as he has laid it in the back garden and we have no privacy at all anymore We have a 6 foot standard double panelled fence for privacy since he has laid it he can see over the fence and the top of the fence goes up to about his chest (hes roughly 6ft tall) were as before it was laid we couldnt see each other
Love the videos. Thank you. What would happen in case of a shared garden (2 flats) 1 non-resident with access only rights to an outbuilding and has since changed its use from storage to a business? At the beginning of the legal stuff. 😢 Thank you
Householder PD rights only apply to constructing outbuildings "within the curtilage of a dwellinghouse" - they do not apply to flats or shared gardens. If a domestic outbuilding has its use changed to some commercial use or other, that could be a material change of use of the land within the meaning of development. Such a change of use might need planning permission and, if it hasn't been granted, would be unauthorised and could be subject to planning enforcement action. It is all very fact sensitive and councils do not have to enforce every breach, only those that cause some planning harm and where they find it expedient to. Check your council's planning enforcement policy in the first instance.
Hi mate , i got planning approved and building work on going. I know have the valuation officers wanting to pop over to see if it needs to be council taxed which i think is outrageous. Its soley for storage and gym with toilet shower, any idea how i avoid this please?
Hi, Great video! I thought I saw in one of your videos that if a garden building was within 1m of curtilage boundary, it would need planning consent if you want it to be more that 15 sqm. Did I imagine that! My son is hoping to build a home gym and the main land available to use is at the front/to the side of the house. The house originally had a staggered front, but a porch was added so the whole of the front, including the front door, is now in one line. Would that be the line we can go up to for a garden building, or would it be the original position of the front door? Finally, if we were trying to keep to 15 sqm, is that the internal or external size? Thanks!
There is no 15 sq. m limit, so the size shouldn't be the problem as long as it is below the 50% of the original 'plot'. Your issue seems to hinge on the definition of the principal elevation so I'd advise putting am enquiry in to your Local Planning Authority on that particular issue. Features such as bay windows CAN form part of the principal elevation line so there is every chance this is the same with your porch.
Very informative video thank you for sharing, how can I contact you for further questions ? I have been going in circles for months regarding an out building in my house and not sure how to go about starting it.
@@TheArchitectTH-cam I think what they mean is, what is the maximum the square meter of total floor you're allowed. Some say maximum 15 square meters, others say 30 square meters. So which is it? It's very confusing and unclear.
@@DW2012 @TheArchitectTH-cam lol, I came with the same question. A few places say 15msq, others say 30msq, some just say 50% of curtilage. It does feel a bit weird I could fill 50% of curtilage with lots of 15 msq sheds, but not one big one.
You can build a 3m two storey rear extension, and a single storey side extension. But they cannot touch each other, you need a gap between them. Other rules also apply, but I have done this many times before.
Hi, I have built a garden room with a canopy roof on the side that's part of the main roof. it has a 100mm raised decking area under the canopy space. my local planning enforcement officer has told me that it's classed as a Veranda so it doesn't have PD rights. What do you advise as I believe they are wrong as the decking is under 300mm in height.
@TheArchitectTH-cam it's under 2.5m. The height hasn't been mentioned at all. The area the building is in the garden is lower than the neighbouring gardens so no issues with privacy. But they're insisting its a Veranda as it has a raised decking area with a roof...the front and the side are open with no balustrade either. Not sure how this can be classed as a Veranda with the decking under 300mm? I appreciate your response.

Amazing videos, Is a front extension possible, when your principal elevation is 60meters away from the road or not visible, from the road?
Hi can you explain what a regularisation certificate is and are they usually granted if the building is half a metre higher than it should be thanks.
Wow! 👍

What about the width of the outbuilding? What happens if it is a detached bungalow or semi detached bungalow?
Any video on corner plots??

Do all the same rules apply to lets say a semi-detached house and a semi detached bungalow? Or does a bungalow differ?

very good , but what area is a shed or cabin allowed to be size wise ? 15msq or 30 msq no one seems to know , thanks .
The limit is the 50% of the curtilage rule, so it could be very large indeed

Not under PD I'm afraid, you'll need to submit a planning application
