| Thanks Adam, but I'm still not sure this whole thing is completely clear. Building a loft extention with or without it flowing onto an outrigger will, as you said, still be subject to the 50 cu m (detached) 40 cu m (all others) maximum limit without planning permission being required, sometimes. Recent (temporary) changes to the planning allowances only relate to ground floor rear extensions, subject to other considerations (ie roads near the back of the property, conservation area status, listed building consent etc). Therefore, if a loft extention goes over the 50/40 limit rule it will require planning permission. But if the property has already been extended at an earlier time from its orginal state then this would, I believe, eat into the 40/50 cu m entitlement. Is this correct? If so how could this be determined from the current application unless attention has been drawn to it (unlikely)? Btw. None of this relates to flats as they have no PDA. Even a shed built in the garden of a flat, strictly speaking, requires planning permission. Thanks. |
