Permitted development, verandahs and stand-alone garden buildings

[RogerS]

Does anyone know if the restrictions on verandahs applies to standalone garden buildings ? I'm thinking of this hypothetical case. Take a verandah (dotted green) and the roof extended out to cover it (dotted red), is that allowed under Permitted Development rules ?

I'll look this up properly later, Roger, so this is just from memory. Presuming this is in a back or side garden the decking itself would be fine if below 300mm above ground level. The roof can do what it likes under the PD limits. The decking if above 300mm would require PP, at least in some circumstances. All bets are off if you're in a National Park or World Heritage Site.

Thanks Mike, No conservation, National Parks to worry about!

My workshop has a deck with a roof. The combination were part of planning permission for a bureaucratic reason, but were allowed on PD.

Wonder if it is still a verandah if it does not have any railings ? A deck ?

A separate deck with a tiny pathway to it?

That’s a strange thing, be interested to know the idea behind it, but I suppose if it’s a shed type building they can’t stop you.

Its only against the rules if you get caught....
Quite stringent on heights too they are
