You will need planning permission if any of the following
cases apply.
- You want to put up a building or
structure which would be nearer to any highway than the
nearest part of the 'original house', unless there would be
at least 20 metres between the new building and any highway.
- More than half the area of land
around the 'original house' would be covered by additions or
other buildings.
- You want to build a structure that is
more than 70 cubic metres (Permitted development).
- You want to put up a building or
structure which is more than 3 metres high, or more than 4
metres high if it has a ridged roof. (Measure from the
highest ground next to it.)
- Your house is a listed building, and
you want to put up a building or structure with a vloume of
more than 10 cubic metres.
Note: The term 'original house'
means the house as it was first built or as it stood on 1 July
1948 (if it was built before that date) although you may not
have built an extension to the house, a previous owner may have
done so.
