40sqm outbuilding permission?

[d438a1]

Hi there, 

 

I'm after confirmation that I don't need planning permission for a 40sqm workshop. It seems people confuse that anything over 30sqm requires both planning permission and building regulations?

 

The house I'm in is within green belt, but previous to buying it I got confirmation from the council that I still have permitted development rights. All other aspects I'm complying with, i.e more than 2m from boundary so can have pitched roof and also overall curtailage is fine. 

 

Thanks

The 30sq.m doesn’t have anything to do with Planning. If you have Class E PD rights and the outbuilding complies with the PD requirements, then Planning would not be required. You could submit a Lawful Development Certificate application to confirm it is PD.

If it's confirmed you have PD Rights then it should be OK, however at 40m² it could be getting to a scale where it being "incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse" could be called into question, depending on its intended Use and the size and occupancy of the dwellinghouse.

It may be worth submitting for a Certificate of Lawful Development if there's any doubt on its Use being "incidental".
