Exactly what I needed, thankyou

Great videos lots of info. I have a huge front facing dormer it's visually a total shocker. Can I remove it and put back a sloped roof thanks

Thanks for your comment. Unless you are in a listed house or in a conservation area, I see no reason why you cant remove the dormer

Great informative video. I have a question for you for my semi-detached , having created a dormer following PD rules (20cm eaves, no more than 50m3 roof space, etc) why is the council now asking for 100cm from eaves and 70cm from cheeks. one side cheek is from a double storey extension so no neighbour and is a hip roof

I'm glad you found the video useful. The council is probably asking for these non-PD details because they appear in the councils own design guide. Some councils are slavish regarding their guidelines. Best to comply if they are trivial to you.

@@efkor thanks for reply, Is the council desgin guides different from PD rules? Thought you need to give Article 4 instructions if council is to override Govt tech guidelines? Where do you find council design guide as their standard reply is follow "planning portal" which looks at Gove PD rules!

Really enjoying the videos, thank you. Could I ask a question? I an wanting to put a one storey 3m extension on the back of a terraced house under PD. Are there any issues about how close to my neighbours property, or in effect can I just follow the brick line coming off the back of the house? many thanks

Thanks Paul. Two issues to look out for. First make sure that your property retains PD rights (if not sure, email the council). Second, many (London) councils are rejecting such cases where the original house has a projecting rear porch or offshot (even a 1m depth) that contains a wall with a side elevation combined with the proposed extension being more than twice the width of the house. Look at Class A condition j (iii) very carefully!

@@efkor Thank you I will. Nothing on the back of the house, but will double check with the council.

Hi, can you please tell me if the roof lights " velux windows " on the side roofs have to be obscure glass or can they be clear glass ? Thanks.

The question to ask is do they overlook your neighbour?

My neighbour is in the process of building a loft conversion dorma to the rear. The roof went on today and I've noticed it encroaches into my area. The houses are terraced and i received no party wall agreement. Any advice would be appreciated.

Out of my remit. Its a legal matter

Could you advise please if a loft lift can be done under planning permission to create head space for loft conversion? thanks
