Well for starters it would be good if you could spell. Go ahead give it a go and wait for it to be knocked down!

Seek planning permission, basically.

You need planning permission. If you wanted to build a lobby or conservatory it depends on the size of it and whether it would impede on next doors light, as small ones do not require planning permission. Any structure which affects the adjoining building needs to have consent from that owner too.

Unless you have several acres, be prepared for a load of arguments and obstruction from the planning department, basically. Best of luck.

Doesn't matter what you want to do with it, or how big a house it is, if you're wanting to build a seperate 'dwelling' (house) in your garden, you will need planning permission. The best thing for you to do, would be to go to Howden House in town and speak to a development control planning officer, or give them a ring. They are in the best position to advise you.

Basically, the problem was that he couldn't provide a completely separate drive for the new build, it would have been shared for the first few yards and they didn't like the idea. :suspect:
