    You'll need planning and building regs permissions http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/extensions/
    So talk to your Council's planners asap.

    Yes you likely will, but may be different or hopefully easier out in the sticks.

    The simple answer is approach your local authority office with a few sketches, some ordnance survey or google world mapping.

    I have only ever found them accommodating, and if you miss this step you are alienating yourself to them, you are on their watch list.

    Ok, over dramatic but get them on your side,
    good luck,;)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
