Hi folks,

I'm debating the issue of putting up a perspex roof over the yard area at the back of my house.

Its about 10 sqm which will be open to the elements on 1 complete side.

Are there any planning issues I should be aware of?

this could be considered the sames as a 'shade' or 'awning' as described in calss 3 of the exempted regs, therefore should comply as required.

CLASS 3

1. No such structure shall be constructed, erected or placed forward of the front wall of a house.
