Hi folks, reading the planning portal website thingy, I see sheds/outbuildings made of combustible materials (aka wood) shouldn't be within 1m of the boundary.
I'm looking to build a largeish shed/workshop (somewhere between 10'x8' to 12'x10', but due to the size of the garden (ie not very big) and the slope of the garden, putting it 1m away from the fences wouldn't be practical. We're an end house, so there's nothing but overgrown field on the other side of the fences to the back and right of the garden where the shed would sit.
Does the 1m thing only apply to boundaries between houses/buildings, or all boundaries (probably the latter I'm guessing). Should I look into trying to use non-combustible cladding of some sort....or am I worrying too much and should I just hoy the thing up and see what happens?
Can anyone force it's dismantling if it ends up sitting there for years without complaint?
Stupid questions mostly I know, thanks in advance folks, I know you lot love this sort of thing lol .
