Planning permission question - car port.

[TonyRPH]

I would like to put a car port to the side of my house.

I have done a bit of research, and it looks as though I may require planning permission, because this will be close to the boundary.

Can anybody clarify this for me?

I fall under the Leeds City Council if this makes an difference.

The long red line is the boundary - the rest is a rough idea of the proposed car port.

TIA.

Just send an email to the council planning department, they normally respond pretty quickly and at least you know what you need to do.

If you put it up and you do need permission you will attract attention very quickly due to the location anyway.

I checked the council website last night, and they want a £30 fee for any info

Thanks everyone. A lot of useful info.
