Water from this small part of the roof would fall onto the roof of an extension, and would therefore be directed into the surface water drainage system.

Technical guidance document H stipulates that there is no requirement for the provision of rainwater drainage for areas less than 6sqm.

Can i assume we are ok to remove this gutter?
