Default Gable end roof extension

BusaC wrote:
I am planning to extend a 1960’s Gable ended Bungalow. The height to
the roof of the Bungalow is just over 4m at a 30 degree angle. Ideally
I would like to make the extension the same height elongating the
Bungalow but when researching Extensions most seem to drop a metre and
have a step in the roof height however this would reduce the ceiling
height.
So what are the problems of extending the existing Gable end roof at
the same height?



We had our house extended - it's a 2-storey L-shaped semi - by extending
the gable-ended end of the 'L'.. the roof line just continued on from
the old one, and since we used reclaimed tiles you can't even tell where
the new bit starts (except by looking at the length of next door's 'L'!

So other than what Hugo's already said at about local planning
constraints, I can't see any particular problem.
