For those not interested in following the link... Its a FAQ on DLRCC website

Q. What height can I build my extension without permission?

A.
    The highest point to which the wall of an exempt extension can be built is eaves level;
    If the proposed extension has a flat roof, it must not exceed the eves or parapet level;
    If the proposed extension has a pitched roof, it must not exceed the ridge of the existing pitched roof.

Yeah I thought you would know alright!
so unless you have a good distance to either side (i.e. not your average semi - oohhhh errr), then you really do need planing.

[JimmyM]

Oh wait i picked you up wrong... I thought you meant 11m from the nearest neighbours window.

I reckon my back garden might be long enough - but my concept of distance is rubbish - ill measure it when i get home.

[JimmyM]

Google earth tells me the garden is about 15m long....

Yep true - you'll always end up with some dark rooms in the middle or else just huge bedrooms. I suppose you could prob work something out with some rear facing skylights.

But... Its not a problem I'll have to worry about for about 10 years I'd imagine  ...at which point the tax situation will prob mean I'll be looking for bits to knock down!

Your garden is easily 15 long.

Jimmy I worried that your biting off more than you can chew,(as the saying goes). You need to do up a list of all the work you have planned for yourself,cost it and set a time frame of completion. Otherwise you could be years pottering away.
