Around this time last year I purchased a four bedroom (originally 5) Victorian terrace house.
The first real job that I would like to undertake is to rebuild the single storey lean-to at the back of the house; I think this would once have been the scullery. One of the previous owners knocked through the chimney breast in the kitchen and opened it up to extend the kitchen, telling me that the scullery was once only accessible by leaving the main building .
On rebuilding my idea is to extend this lean-to by two foot at the front and eight foot at the side, I also hope to alter the roof by rotating it by 90 degrees but still being a lean-to and higher it about three foot. Can anyone tell me if I will need planning permission?
My intention is to build the new lean-to around and over the old one then pull the old one down.
P.S. I will be using traditional building materials and methods to keep it in line the rest of the house.
