Is there a legal limit that new extension should be away from my existing building or fence? Thought I it was a metre.

Have tried ringing local council, but no one picking up the phone.
No.
Is it near your fence OR your building?
obviously I bow to JTH's knowledge on this, but as long as there is planning permission you can go up to a boundary (i think). If it's your building I would think you want an extension to extend from your existing building don't you?
They can build right up to their boundary but ALL of their extension must be on their side.
The permitted development' rules for single-storey extensions are here

and for more than one storey here

(That site is co-funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government, so the information can hopefully be regarded as 'official')
