    I am looking at building an extension to a Georgian house. It is not a protected structure. The property all around is mixed and over looked every direction. Fronts of houses and back too.

    Anyway it has what was an extension at some point creating return rooms. Rooms place on the back of the house by windows that were just on the return landings. This was done a long long time ago and certainly pre 63 if not pre 1900.

    As I understand it I can build 40 so metres without planning but is this "original" extension included in that?
    Also if I put a door to a flat roof with no use as outside space does that require planning? Thinking of building extension and a few years apply for planning for further work. Tax and RPZ issues in play

    If any extensions to the existing house were constructed pre 1963, the extensions are considered to be part of the original house, so (if not further) extended post 1963) you can avail of your full exemption area (subject to the usual exemption criteria).

    Just make sure that whoever will issue an opinion on compliance with planning permission/exemption is satisfied any existing extension is actually pre 1963.

    Thanks for the advice. It is how I think
