<p>Hi There,</p> <p>I'm dealing with request to advise on whether planning permission is required by the local authority to erect a roof above a large segregated waste sorting area.  Although they can keep the height down to under 4 metres, the resulting buildings (even though the use and the footprint of the structure is already in situ) would be greater than 200 cubic metres.  I've advised that planning permission is required.</p> <p>On the basis that the use and footprint are in fact already in situ, my colleague has calculated the volume of the 'addition' is less than 200 cubic metres.  They've therefore asked me if it does in fact require permission.</p> <p>My instinct is that the volume of space that is that of the resulting building, which is greater than 200 cubic metres, even though the bit they are adding is less, and as such permission would be required.  </p> <p>Can anyone give me a view on this?</p>
