My understanding of the permitted development rules is that an outbuilding /garage etc falls within permitted development if below 2.5 m height. I live on a corner plot and want to build a small storage building to the side of th house - it would not be visible to the street as it would sit behind an existing brick wall (and be shorter than 2.5m). I'm sure if it were detached permission wouldnt be needed but I wonder if it is needed if I create a door opening through the side of the house so we can walk through from house into the storage space? It wouldn't have any drains etc - but would want to put in lighting. I'm not sure when an outbuilding becomes an extension? I assume I would need building regs for it - but obviously that's a separate matter.


Anyone a wiz on understanding southward planning rules? I had a bad experience with the worlds rudest planner in the past and I had bad advice when I went to the one stop shop...so slightly wary of even raising it w planning office if I dont need to?

The Planning Portal website does have a useful guide on permitted developments http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/outbuildings/miniguide


From what you have described it seems as if it would fall under the 'permitted development criteria'. I hope this helps

      Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this. It's got nearly 70,000 signatures at present, and apparently runs till February.

      There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
