Hey guys!
I've been planning my full size snooker table shed and art studio shed for the past few months, I currently live in a rented council house with a massive back garden (approx 10m x 22m). The council have given their permission and pretty much said build it as big as you like, but after reading the rules and regs on sheds I now realise I may need planning permission also? Or do I? I don't really want to wait another 8-10 weeks for a decision, what should I do? Is it worth the risk starting? The neighbouring gardens (also massive) all back on to each other and most have sheds, conservatories, extensions etc. So I don't think I will be spoiling anyone's view, but at a budget cost of nearly 8k including the equipment. I don't want to have to take it down again...
I'm hoping to build two conjoined pitch roof sheds, one 7m x 5m (snooker table shed) with an eaves of 1.9m and I was hoping for a ridge height of 3m (not 2.5). The second 5m x 3.5m & 2.7m to the ridge. The sheds will only be 0.6m from the boundary line. The bigger shed will be roughly 33m2 internally and the smaller shed around 16m2, although joined together they will be separate internally, divided by a timber wall.
As for the construction I intended to build a reinforced 100mm concrete base with the outline of the two shed's in 4"x2" timber. The 'slab' will sit on MOT type1 50mm sub layer which will have been compacted down. The walls and roof will all be constructed from 3"x2" cls timber and clad with OSB on the back and sides (out of view) and the front elevation clad with shiplap timber. The roof I was just going to felt and possibly fit a glass window on the roof of the smaller shed to let in some natural light for my painting. I was also planning on one horizontal window for the big shed and a smaller vertical window for the smaller shed, both sheds will have there own door to gain access. The 0.6m perimeter around both sheds will be stone chippings up to our boundary with the neighbours.
Any feedback would be great on this. I was thinking about maybe trying to have a chat with someone from planning to explain the plans and try to get a rough idea what the chances are of successfully being granted planning permission?
Cheers!
