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

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
