    Simple answer is I don't know.

    However, whether there is a slim chance or no chance does not impact/negate the need to seek planning for the structure and intended use. Not doing so because others have got away with it or whatever is not a valid exemption in planning legislation.

    Advising the OP to proceed without planning is bad advice.

    Im not advising anything. Im stating that you are supposed to have planning if its for habitation but that nothing will happen even if you dont have planning.

    While others are fond of quoting rules and telling the OP they will lose money and have to knock it down, knowing that is simply not true.

    Up to the OP how to proceed.

    There are of course many habitable rooms/dwelling that should have planning that are in breach. But there are less than you are making out.

    You pointed to garden rooms being sold as an indicator of all the unauthorised development. When in reality, most of the rooms sold do not require planning.

    You also gave an address, and claimed all the holiday rentals were unauthorised development. And that was also false, a quick search shows that the street is literally full of holiday home grants. And yes, I did check the planning maps, it's trivial to do so.

    The fact is you see a garden rooms around, and assume they are all unauthorised. Not the case.

    They might get away with it. But it's not zero risk. Some body air BnBing a garden room without authorisation isn't going to draw attention to it online, there is an obvious reason for that.

    You could raise a shed roof from 2.4m up to 3m, still exempt.
    Raising it to 5m (two story height), would not be exempt.

    It's not the raise of the walls that's the issue, but the height to which you raise them.
