I pretty sure I can put a garden shed half way down the garden (50m long) without the need for planning permission, however, does anybody know if there is restrictions on the maximum size and the materials (I'm considering making it out of blockwork)

If its a temporary structure without foundations then AIUI you dont need PP

What's 50m long, the garden or the shed?

TelBoy

Can i also ask about fences?

Can you permanently erect standard six feet panels between properties no matter what, or can a neighbour have the right to complain on the grounds of light issues etc?

Checked this out with my council recently, I was told that if it was no more than 6' and on my property then there is no need for permission from the council/neighbour.

Try here and here is another useful one.......

Its usually to do with height and its proximity to the common border and or road.

I am just going to get a monster shed and plonk it wherever I want, put power and light to it and spend a lot of time in there with my titty books and Brown ale.

Hello

You should check your deeds as there are sometimes convenants on the land that restrict the height of a fence between properties. In my case it was 3ft.

Otherwise there is only requirement if you are bordering a public highway.

The garden is 50m long, the shed will be approx 6' x 8'. It just works out cheaper to make it all out of block work than timber. Failing that I'll just have to make a block base and build a wood frame on that.

OllyK

Yeeks - 10 cublic metres is the max - that's about a 6'x6' shed! Great, looks like I'll need PP for a fookin' shed, that's another 300 notes then

Not really a shed if it's not made of wood. Sounds more like a building without foundations. Not sure your neighbours would like the look of a blockwork building at the bottom of your garden.

Trust me there are far too many variables for anyone to advise you on this board whether you need planning permission or not. I can tell you cases where you definately will but can never advise when you that you don't. In all cases referred to above you need to phone the planning authority and ask them. They won't make it up; you either do need PP or you don't and they are not going to want to take an application if they can avoid it so they'll not ask for one for the sake of it.

unless its a conservation area or the building is listed.

You could buy a 8x6 for £200, timber half a day to erect job done, unless you need to do your base too then it's a bigger job.

As far as the fence goes depending on what your deeds say you are responsible for one side normally but you could erect another fence on your property without any problems as long as it's not a stupid size

Tell em' it's a $hithole. Either it's built or you will need to be snapping em off into the neighbours garden, I am sure they will then not contest

Dazza01

Yes, you can, i cheated though and put my 6ft fence panels on top of a gravel board

Leslie

I think the size limit is 8' x 6' Olly, unless that has changed in the last few years since I installed mine.

Yeah, and my fckin council won't give you advice on whether or not you need to go for PP. All they do as say submit the plans (and £300) and they'll say yes/no/don't need pp (and therefore didn't need to waste money on drawings etc). Very helpful - not.

I am going to get a 10 * 13 Cabin, not bothering applying for planning permission as its in a big garden, have asked the neighbours, they cant see it so arent bothered and it there is a problem I can take it down or apply for permission afterwards, unlike a brick extension which is a problem to take down.

OllyK

Thanks Les, I've sent them an email now so I'll see what they say

B9GLY

you do not need planning permission for a garden shed especially one that small IMO

but i will point out that all councils have different rules!

LG John

In the grounds of a listed building that's in a conservation area you'd need planning permission for your garden gnomes (slight exageration). It's always case specific so you should always check

No, they have different interpretations - the rules, however, are the same

I had to get around this the other day, the good advice i got was describe it as a covered walkway
