We wanna build an orangery on the back of our house,3.4 x 7m,bi-fold doors skylight roof etc etc,however,in order to do this we need to knock down an existing utility room, and out building, in order to do this, the current utility has a pitched roof, the new one will be flat, but less than the height of the old one, by 1.5m.
The total length will be the same as the existing 2 buildings, but the
depth will be greater overall by about 2.5m.
So,im thinking,that I won’t need planning permission under the Neighbour Consultation Scheme,as as I interpret it,it falls withing the guidelines,secondly,i propose to project manage this myself,and use tradesman I know,in order to keep the budget under control,so will I need to submit plans drawn up by an architect, or can I draw them myself ?,clearly it will be constructed to building regs..
Thx.
