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

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
