Hi. I i live in a row of small houses with small gardens where permitted development was removed when houses built. Imade a planning application for an outbuilding. A 13.44m2 outbuilding. My garden is 53m2. The Council have refused saying it leaves too little amenity space - 40m2.
However the same council 3 years ago approved an extension on a neighbours house, same row, that had a 35m2 garden (yes very small) that has been reduced it to a 19m2 garden by the extension.
This seems very unfair. Can the council treat an outbuilding differently than an extension when looking at amenity garden space? Do I stand a chance appealing this? Should I try to speak with council first?
Really grateful for any help. Seems so irrational and unfair.
