Shed, garden room or neither 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Nic]

So the below statement is attached as. Clause to my approved PP

 

 Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (or any order revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification) no works shall be undertaken within the Schedule 2 Part 1 Classes A, B, C or E for the enlargement, improvement or other alterations to the dwelling hereby permitted, other than works that do not materially affect the external appearance of the buildings, or for the provision within the curtilage of any building or enclosure, swimming or other pool, [other than any enclosure approved as part of the landscape management scheme]
(Reason - The space available would not permit such additions without detriment to the character and appearance of the area or to the amenities of adjoining occupiers in accordance with Policy D1 - Design and Local Distinctiveness of the Adopted East Devon Local Plan 2013-2031.)

 

Now does that read as no shed garden room etc or is it purely an addition to the actual fabric of the building. Ie if it’s a freestanding shed room all is good if it’s attached no good 🤷🏻‍♂️

thanks in advance 

[Mr Punter]

I read it as no sheds, kennels, workshops etc without PP.  Quite restrictive.

Unusually so 🤔

Is it a particularly small external area?

You could send a courtesy letter to planning, showing your proposal and asking if the clause applies.

[Nic]

Thanks, not exactly small

[ProDave]

That is a small outside space in my book.

You've effectively had permitted development rights for extensions (class A), roof alterations/additions (class B and C) and outbuildings (class E) removed. The space around the house is very small so it makes sense why they would not allow for you to add any extensions or sheds/outbuildings without applying for permission.

[Blooda]

Small outside space, and looks like you have already made the house smaller on the plot from previous applications, to accommodate.

I think the paragraph you quote is fairly standard. It is common for Planners to remove PD Rights apparently without much thought about the consequences .  But in this case, they have given a reason for their decision. (Often they don't give a reason)

The answer to your question   ' ... Now does that read as no [...]   ...'   is No.

It means that you'll need to apply for Planning Permission. That's all. 

 

The quickest way round problem that is to look at similar Planning Permission applications and see what the Planners decided to permit or refuse.
