What are you allowed to build?

hi all

Currently undergoing an extension on the house and have taken down a rotten shed at the bottom of the garden.

It stood on a patio I made and due to the nature of the garden, it's an irregular shape.

Having a made to measure shed would cost a bit and no doubt to make use of the shape it would be 'more' expensive!!!

I want to utilise the all the space.

Can I build a 2 room shed out of thermailtes?

I'd build just below fence height then create a timber framework to sit atop of it as using all timber causes issues being unable to treat the wood that faces the fence.
The timber framework would thus have a sloping timber room and covered appropriately with felt......

I want to split it/partition maybe 60/40 with the 60% being a playroom for my boy and the other 40% being storage.

So is this allowable?
Thoughts?
Any better way of doing it?

I'll post a photo to assist your thoughts.

If it's less than 2m high and floor area less than 15m2 you can more or less do whatever you like. The link above gives all the details but you should be fine.

Great,

Another project to do after/during my current one

If it's less than 2m high ... you should be fine.

... but you might have difficulty standing up.

The planning portal States 2.5m not 2m so standing up would not be an issue
