If a barn has 'Permitted Development' (UK), I understand that structural modifications can take place (new walls, windows etc.), but can, if needed, new foundations be made?

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because questions regarding “Local building codes or advice limited to your area” are specifically listed as off topic in the help center. – Tyson May 08 '18 at 11:35

    @Tyson - If you read the on-topic page you'll see that "National building codes (of any country)." are specifically on topic. Last I checked, the UK was a country, not a locality. – AndyT May 08 '18 at 15:42
  • @AndyT interesting... from a little farther down on the very page that you linked is the text I copied and pasted that says it’s off topic. There seems to be some disagreement on the very page you linked. Typically tho questions about what’s allowed under a specific permit do get closed as off-topic, mainly because one inspector or dept may read the rules differently than the next, if it’s a permitting question the best answer will be obtained from the AHJ. – Tyson May 08 '18 at 17:26

    I think, in this case, that it's fairly unambiguous: it's a non-local building code who's rules cannot be read differently. – Steve Dunn May 09 '18 at 05:44

    ... and more to the point, relating to the whole existence of StackExchange, is that the question, and answer, would be helpful to future readers... – Steve Dunn May 09 '18 at 05:45
  • @Tyson - That page has no disagreement. National building codes are on topic, Local building codes are not. It's pretty clear. – AndyT May 09 '18 at 09:18
