Hipped roof extension on gable end

[quackhandle]

Won't a hipped roof add somewhat to the amount of sloping ceiling inside, because in effect an extra wedge is removed from the interior?

I'd have thought a gable end would give more useful internal space, which most potential purchasors will probably value more than exterior appearance.

Not planning to move anywhere for the foreseeable, forever home and all that.

, it won't happen for a few years but nice to have the permission in place.

If you're not planning on doing it soon, don't bother applying for permission. You need to commence work within a specific period of getting permission - can't remember if it's 2 or 3 years.

It's 3 year. Once your start that extends to 10 years, which is good if you plan to do more than one phase
