I think I prefer the revised frontage to the original standard type. Different and professional.
Will you be providing the finished step or will they?

Looking really nice, well done. Can I ask how high it is? Curious because the advice you had from your local planning office...
"Outbuildings and garages to be single storey with maximum eaves height of 2.5 metres and maximum overall height of four metres with a dual pitched roof or three metres for any other roof."
And
"Maximum height of 2.5 metres in the case of a building, enclosure or container within two metres of a boundary of the curtilage of the dwellinghouse."
So, 4m max height for a dual pitched roof, but only 2.5m max if it's within 2 metres of the boundary. Pretty sure the "within 1m of the boundary" is a building regulations thing, e.g. from the PP website again:-
"Building a detached [garage] of less than 30 square metres floor area would not normally need building regulations approval if:
the floor area of the detached [garage] is less than 15 square metres.
the floor area of the [garage] is between 15 square metres and 30 square metres, provided the garage is at least one metre from any boundary, or it is constructed from substantially non-combustible materials."
So if it's less than 15 sq m then building regs don't apply, but if it's within 2 metres of a boundary it can't be higher than 2.5m, that's my understanding anyway. I had to go into this quite carefully as the one I did early in the year was in a conservation area and they're pretty hot on the regs!
My reading of your situation would be that if it's less than 2.5m high then you didn't need to move it, but if it's more than 2.5m high then you perhaps haven't moved it far enough! :shock: Hope it's OK.
Cheers, Pete
...is at odds with what I was told when I did my first summerhouse earlier in the year, and also with what's published on the planning portal website - http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permissions :-mailee":2koipbhr said:

Hi Pete. Yes according to the building and planning man it is 4m max height and only 1 mtr from boundry. The summer house is 3.2 mtrs high and is now 1.5 mtrs from the boundry. It is also only 7 sq mtrs in size. I did quizz the man on this and he was sure about it and I also got his name just in case. I should add this is not a conservation area if that makes any difference.
