I think the rules changed a couple of years back but it is always worth
dropping in to your local planning office.
I recall noting that something I built at the bottom of the garden about
5 years ago would not longer be allowed but also that house extensions
of certain types had become a lot easier.

sadly, no. Cart and horses through planning now. No reasonable offer
refused.

Well it's excellent from my point of view as I can now go out 4 metres
without the need for PP :-)

Err ...
I think its limited to 3 metres out on PD now.
I've just built an extension to 4m (started 2006 !), would have needed
planning permission to do it now.
You are now allowed to add loads of little boxes sticking off the
various parts of your house, but single larger boxes need planning
permission.
The PD rules are now actually worse for reasonable sized additions.

Does anyone know why "any upper-floor window in a wall or roof slope in
a side elevation must be obscure-glazed and non-opening unless the
parts which can be opened are more than 1.7 metres above the floor of
the room in which it is installed"?

And, what is the definition of a "side window" as opposed to "front
window" or "back window"?

I read it as a side window being one that will overlook next door. The
assumption presumably being that an extension will be close to next door
but not close to a property built at the bottom of the garden.

If you look at the link I posted above, it's 3m for an attached house,
and 4m for a detached.

I assumed for neighbours' privacy, although it's oddly-phrased - why
is it relevant where the opening part is? You could have a fixed
window that started at floor level and went up to the ceiling, with an
opening light more than 1.7m off the ground, and it could all be clear-
glazed. I'm sure this is not what is meant.

Oh, I see, there is a missing comma: "must be obscure-glazed, and non-
opening unless..." Do they not teach punctuation any longer?

todays fantabulous legal-ese.
Remember they don;t really want you to be able to understand it
yourself....they want you to go and ask and either allow them to earn
their comfy salary and pension....or ask another planning
"consultant" (ex local authority) or similar to interpret it for
you...
