Eaves Height Flat Roof Extension

Outbuildings and garages to be single storey with maximum eaves height of 2 5 metres and maximum overall height of four metres with a dual pitched roof or three metres for any other roof.

Eaves height flat roof extension.

In the before pictures you can see where the chimney was capped off. The measure from the bottom of the pressure treated splash plank to the intersection of the underside of the roofing at the outside edge of the sidewall columns. Or higher at the eaves than the existing eaves. The height of the eaves will be measured from the natural ground level at the base of the external wall of the extension to the point where the external wall would meet the upper surface of the roof slope.

Some details sistered 8ft 2x6 to existing truss glued and screwed nailed. If you are planning and designing a single storey extension this means it can be up to 6m from the original rear wall of an attached house or 8m on a detached property and up to 4m in height. It made the house look odd as there are already lots of roof lines. The materials used in exterior work except in the case of a conservatory.

Extensions cannot be higher than the highest part of the existing roof. Open eaves with roof rafters before roof trusses the exposed rafter tails were an extension of the roof framing. For the purpose of measuring height the eaves of a house are the point where the lowest point of a roof slope or a flat roof meets the outside wall. The ceiling joists pushed the rafters up and gave extra height to the building.

The eaves are no more than 3 metres in height if any part of the extension is within 2 metres of the property boundary. Here are some pictures of my latest project an extension to the eave on the front of my house. If your extension is to be within 2m of your property s boundary the eaves height is limited to 3m. Open eaves with trusses.

Would the council assess a side boundary wall of the extension for example being 4m high acceptable as pd parapet wall so long as the eaves height of the flat roof is only 3m high.
