I presume you're worried about your neighbours and the need for

flat if the need comes?


Erect it in a small hollow?



I've already dug out at one end (the adjacent ground on the higher
ground level end is the one that planning should use, although the chap
I spoke to at planning was initially unaware of this), BUT it only gives
me about 225mm of "extra", and I need more like 400 for that to work...

So, as I ain't intending to dig up the reinforced pad I laid, having
mixed the concrete in my Aldi mixer, about 5 cu metres of it, the roof
must comply!


I thought you were allowed outbuildings up to 4 metres high ?.

There are various constraints if it's to be "permitted development". One
is n0t more than 30 sq m floor area inside. Another is not more than
2.5m high IF within 2m of a boundary, which this is. 4m would be lovely.
But.

If it exceeds 30 sq m it can still be erected under permitted development but you have to conform to building regulations.

Does that apply if any part of the building is within 2m of the boundary, or
is it simply that no part of the building within two meters of the boundary
can exceed 2.5m? Obviously a very different constraint!
