ads Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Hi All,  First post (apart from my intro) so go gentle 😀.  I'm looking to build on top of an existing extension at the rear of my detached house. The existing ground floor extension is against the boundary. Both my house and the neighbouring house are 1m from the boundary at the front. I'm hoping to build straight on top of the ground floor extension bringing it up against the boundary. I know generally planners don't like building side extensions against boundaries on a row of detached buildings as it breaks the character of the street. And none of my neighbours have either. But given the side extension is basically a rear extension and well set back from the street I was wondering how much leeway the planners will give. Other thing to say is the roof will go from a hip to a gable end which none of the neighbours have either.  Pictures speak a thousand words.....     Edited August 21 by ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassanclan Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 If I am understanding this right the two storey element will be as far back as your neighbour's two storey building? Â The juliet balcony may prove problematic, and you could make the planners look on it more favourably by hipping rather than gable ending the wall. Â No harm in submitting the application but being prepared to listen to the officer and modify it part way through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDamo Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Does your LPA have policies or guidance when building first floor side elements up to the boundary?  Btw, something isn’t quite right here as the rear elevation appears to show the ridge lines lining through, but this side elevation does not.
