I'm wanting to build a garage in my back garden. Looking at permitted development it states:
http://www.bridgend.gov.uk/web/groups/public/documents/marketing/004663.pdf
For the 5m rule would the definition of house include current outbuildings attached to the house?
Does the 2005 5m rule still apply as i heard it was altered in the 2008 amendments but finding conflicting reports.
Does it change at all if it was a wooden structure rather than block built?
Building control wise i'm pretty sure i can build something with an internal measurement of 15m2 of floorspace without needing building control authority as long as it is "A detached building with a floor area less than 15m2 which has no bedrooms"
i could go up to 30m2 but i would need to stay at least 1m from my boundary then which is pushing it if i need to be 5m from house
another stipulation for not needing building control inspection is "The building is mainly built of materials which do not catch fire easily" so that would rule out my wooden garage
any advice welcome

http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/outbuildings/miniguide is a good place to start
I think the 5m rule is in regard to the original house as built so will not include extensions build since
I think if its a wooden structure its deemed a temporary structure and thus the same restrictions do not apply. Its why so many people are putting up the Scandinavian style log cabins as they work around the planning rules

Wooden would be deemed a temp structure so the above is out the window.
Build it on the boundary and max height of 2.5m.
Best bet is to ring your local council, quick chat with a planner. Then submit a permitted development form for approval.
Mine was free, response within few days to say its deemed permitted development, now check with building regs etc.
Is it also not eased again as part of "relaxed" planning put in by government last Sept?
8m extensions without planning until 2015.

The 8m extensions are only for detached houses. For terraced it will be going t 6m.
Its a complete joke really. It will just end up with loads of horrible log flat roof extensions.
If your planning a large 8m deep extension, the planning aspect is normally a good point as it stops the horrendous extensions people will now build, cost wise its it has a very small impact on the cost of the project.

Had a look, looks like you need 7m around it minimum to boundary line.
