Demolishing and rebuilding extension - planning issue?

    I am wondering if I were to demolish an existing poorly constructed extension and rebuild with the exact same footprint, would I run into any planning issues? The size of the extension is well below the 40m2 so it would have originally been exempt from planning.

    Alternatively, if I was to demolish this structure and rebuild a slightly larger, but still below 40m2 extension, would I be exempt?

    Thank you. So in layman's terms, that means that you can demolish and rebuild as long as there is a small gap between your new extension and a neighbours extension?
