Permitted Development - Outbuildings

Hi, is the 2m boundary all around the outhouse ? I would like to build an outhouse similar to your video but in-line with my house which will have more than 2 meters from one neighbour but not the other side but inline with my house? In other words, moving the outhouse shown in your video to the other side of the garden

Depends on who runs your local council.
Some councils dont care what you build, slough, Southall,Hayes, Hounslow etc.

when you showed the building on a slope what if you where digging out a upward slope and within 1m of a boundary would the highest point of ground still be the case from where the eaves would be measured? thanks

Great video!
I’ve seen some contradictory information on other websites and from builders for the square meter floor space allowed and I need your help.

On the gov website I can only see reference to the 50% curtilage rule (and my property doesn’t fall under the listed and area natural beauty rule).
On a lot of other websites there seems to be 15-30 square meter rule. I want to create a workshop and a recording studio and make them as big as possible, given the 2m boundary and 50% curtilage rule, but don’t want to get hit with a hidden rule of no more than 30m2 if I can avoid it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Very well Explained. I am looking to building a snooker room which I wanted to build from wood with concrete base. max 2.5 m tall rear garden is massive so would cover only tiny amount of back garden. Size 7 x 5 metres (Minimum Size 6.7m x 4.80) Cant seem to find out anywhere if this is allowed under building regs or whether it would require full planning?

Hi there and thank you for the very informative video - when building up to the principal elevation is it ok for the roof edge to be in front of the principal elevation or not - in your video it looks like to roof of the outbuilding is forward of the principal elevation but the front wall is in line. Thank you.

Grat video! i had a different idea of these rules when i read them by myself. I have only one question, i have a house in the middle of a block, and to get to my house you have like a 30m walkway, so kinda hidden there. Do these Roads rules apply to me ?

Do you need permission to build underground garage?

Well-explained - congratulations.

Thanks so much for this - so no outbuildings permitted AT ALL if Class Q agricultural conversion to dwellinghouse?? I think I assumed that as long as curtilage was treated as per Class Q (no bigger than footprint of building) that normal outbuilding rules would apply. Thank you for any advice :)

Great information! Unfortunately, in Scotland, height is measured from the lowest point of the ground adjacent to the building. I wish it was like the English system.

Hi great video. What would the rule be if the side road was the same road of a corner plot in a cul-de-sac. Thanks in advance

Great video 😊

Thanks for the videos, they are very informative. A semi detached house I'm looking at has a garage/out building attached to the house. It goes all the way along the party wall to the end of the garden where the garage door is. Would I would be able to convert this (under PD) into another bedroom with a small bathroom and kitchen as it would be a garage conversion?

The only thing that concerns me is the current garage/outhouse does not have a full wall on the garden side, just a pillar. So the structure is the back of the main house at one end , the partly wall running along the side, the garage door at the other end, then a pillar half way along the garden side.

Many thanks for your time

Great video, thank you, its very difficult to find a good breakdown of these rules regarding sloped gardens. I have a question, In the example you show on the sloped garden at 6mins 30. could you have a series of decking clad steps (or concrete steps) at the front that run the full length of the front build?, or are the steps only allowed in the area where the door is located?

When building an attached garage to the side is there a size limit?

Very informative. Are you allowed to install ducts for srvices (water and drainage ect) incase the laws change?

Thanks for the video! I have a similar plot, I'm looking to build a garage but only have 3m to the boundary so wish it to be attached to the side of the house, I was planning to do in the style of a lean-to coming off the side wall with just a simple single pitch to the boundary, there would be no direct access from the property via the joining wall, simply want to make the most of the 3m gap that I have.. there is only a gravel track to the front, properties either side. As its attached to the main house would I need planning?

For an absolute beginner: What will I need to do to covert my small outhouse which is connected to an external garage into a living quarters for a renting (bedroom, toilet, kitchen)? How best to get planning permission etc? Sorry for my ignorance, I have no idea.
