    From reading previous articles, they say your only allowed 25sq metres, but my engineer says its 40 sq m. And you have to be 1 meter from one boundary wall and 11 from th other boundary if you want windows on that side??
    Anyone clear this up for me without saying "look at this link" I get confused with technical lingo!

    40 square meters is for a ground floor/single storey extension to a house.

    A block shed/garage can only be 25 meters square.

    Anything over that size needs full planning permission.

    If building the garage in the back garden,there there must be at least 25 square meters of leisure space/garden/land between the proposed garage and the back wall of the house.

    Any decent engineer should know that off by heart.

    Point 6 is if the house allready has a garage attached to the side of the house,and you want to make that garage part of the house,as in converting the garage to a "living space",new room in the house.

    Point 7 is about actually "building" a garage seperately from scratch.

    NO....simple as that.

    You NEED full planning permission for anything over 25 square meters with regards building a shed.

    Your engineer should know this off by heart,and if he or she doesnt know,then I would be seriously questioning them and their professional abilities.
