Permitted development council agreed and now refused

12m x 8m...? REALLY? A "shed" in the garden?

Just to put that into proportion... I had a triple garage built a few years ago. It's half that size.

96m2 - there's a lot of two-bed houses with smaller floor area.

Op, a few questions/points of information, which may allow for more detailed advice:

1) The extension extends beyond the original side wall of the house (i.e. it’s wider than the original house)? If so, by how much?
2) The Council haven’t yet specified under what part of the permitted development order they are considering rejecting the application?
3) Is your property detached?
4) How close to your boundary is the extension?
5) What have you installed in your new extension (specifically have you installed a new soil and pipe)?
6) How old is the extension?
7) I assume it’s built using similar materials to the main house?
8) Do you live in a national park/site of scientific interest/area of outstanding natural beauty etc?
9) Finally, have any previous extensions been made to the house or has the house had permitted development rights removed?

An addition or extension to your house* is generally considered to be permitted developments. So you won't need to go through the additional hassle of getting planning permission as long as: Your extension is no more than half the area of land around the original house (curtilage).

More then 50percent left

Yes, not more than 50% of the land around the original house is one of the rules.

But there are other rules about size.

I’m confused, is it an extension or an outbuilding?

Yes, but that doesn't allow you to build a block of flats in the back garden if it only takes up 50% of the floor space. You need to read all of the rules. You should be able to work out yourself where you're in contravention if the council haven't told you.

There are PD loopholes that allow people to build monstrosities in their garden and some councils will interpret them differently to ithers.

See here - yours could be number 9.

There are also forums there and appeal precedents that can be quoted. But the forum isn't free, I don't think, and you'll need to give them proper information, just like we need a bit more than we've got.

Thanks for replies the property is in Fulham.

1. It not wider then original house.

3. It’s semi detected.

4. Near boundry hence 2.5 height limit

5. Connected to house pipes

6. 2years

7 yes

8 and 9 everything has been made using planning permission before.

The council was sent full plans and council building control came frequently to check.

The building is around 12m x 4m I think.

You do actually mean metres and not feet? :think:


In 'old money', it's around 40' x 25'. I agree, that's pretty enormous!

nanman1998

It’s outbuilding gym and it’s say metres in letter. The neighbour have made one covering 100ft garden.
