Does the 50% rule for extensions under PD include the original house?

by JamesHopeful

My question is per the title.

I always thought that the rule was you could (subject to complying with other requirements and maximums) build on up to 50% of the land surrounding your house. However, someone told me today that the rule is that you can only build on up to 50% of the total...

I wondered about the advice regarding using an architect when deciding how large a garden shed could be.
I thought why would anyone want to do that before going to B and Q to buy the right size, but then I realised that designing a swimming pool could require professional advice, which may be...

I've just managed to answer my own question by referring to the excellent Planning Geek website: https://www.planninggeek.co.uk/gpdo/...se/extensions/
