Can't work out if I need planning permission...

Looking at this page, I can't understand whether I need planning permission or not...

I'm thinking no as it's under 6m from the original house. North Devon Council are beyond useless at answering my question so I wondered if anyone knew

Cheers

EDIT: I know I'll need building regs

Original Plan:



Proposed plans:

You're not extensing the rear garage side any further, no?

This is just infilling the present space to the side of it?

Providing your house hasn't had it's permitted development right removed and you don't live in. Listed building, conservation area or area of outstanding natural beauty, it should fall under permitted development rights.

Is the present back room with the french doors an extension? If it is, the new extension would come under the extended permitted development rights for a larger extension. You will need to seek something called 'prior approval' from the local authority. There is a form to fill out.

By the way, move the door through from your new utility to the kitchen back to the left hand side. It is more practical for furniture siting in the kitchen and it will create a better visual flow from the new side door.

Oh that's not the final inside layout I've changed the layout inside many many times lol. But thanks

EDIT: And yes, the building at the back is a prior extension that the previous owners did. Wish they'd made it a bit bigger.

Would it matter if I was extending the garage by another 50cm out the back?

Is the rear garage completely original to the house? If not, what is the footprint of the house when it was built?

I think it's original. It doesn't look extended, and we have the plans for the extension that's here now, and it looks like a door was moved and the extension on the house built. I'll have to dig out the plans.
