I just want a sheltered area for garden tools, outdoor storage... and I was hoping to put railing actually so it looks pretty.. however I wont raise it more than 300mm ... For example these guys here: https://www.quick-garden.co.uk/planning-permission " According to the regulations, a...

But what about the "No verandas, balconies or raised platforms." on http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/outbuildings/ ? Can the shed have a veranda?

The fence around the building are actually brick so it shouldn't be a problem.. and there arent any other buildings around or trees. Just want to make sure that a neighbour cant use it as an argument to get it removed or something...

If this additional covered area was not connected to the other shed, however, it would be considered a seperate building...?

Hello, I am thinking of building a wooden 16ftx10ft shed, with the roof extending across the length of it another 10ftx10ft. This will be less than 1m from the boundary. According to planning permission, I see this: "No verandas, balconies or raised platforms." Is this talking about...

Hello all, This is regarding a 30sqm "Garden Office", including insulation and electrics, heating The roof will be lean-to and is capped at 2.5m due to it being near the border. Due to building regulation issues regarding wooden sheds near borders, would it be cheaper to: 1) Build a...

But the roof will still have timber in it for the joists, does it still count as non combustible?

I might as well do the application if digging is more expensive. Would I also need buildung regulations?

Hello, I am planning a shed which fits under permitted development - minus one thing. The height of the shed. The law says 2.5m height (for within 2m of the boundary), but because this is a gym I ideally want 2.5m - 3m usable height. With slab / flooring and roofing... I would have to...

That sounds more sensible than what that guy is doing. If you do it the way you say you don't even need timber frames for pouring the slab. Whats the minimum width of the foundation trench? It can't be just the width of the masonry and outer brick right? Do I need a mesh frame in the...

I have read it both ways, This guy suggests the slab comes before the trench: http://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/shedbase.htm When I was reading a guide about extensions (habitable), they did the trench first I am pretty confident because I do a lot of carpentry and engineering...

Hello, I am reading up on how to build a DIY heated, brick shed - which will have a gym and some rabbits, and I think I have the basics down, but I have some questions on the details. My understanding is as follows: 1) The slab is basically a hole, with hardcore as the first layer, sand...

Hello, When I got the house it had a large (4mx3m) wooden shed already built up from the previous owners. I am trying to sell it so I can build a bigger, brick shed in its place. It seems to have electrics and insulation and everything, how easy is it to dissasemble this thing in a way that...

Hello, I am building a 8.5m x 3.6m shed, the "narrow" side is facing south. The maximum height it can go is 2.5m, due to being within 2m of a border / fence. My goal is to get the best solution where I can: 1) Maximize the space underneath, I would prefer for the height to be 2.5 all...

Can't it be a slate with a slight angle and maximum height od 2.5?

The height should be 2.5m for within 1m of the fence, I am ok with that.

I checked that 1) It is not in any special area 2) Less than half of the area around the original house will be covered by extensions of some sort 3) Its not on the front 4) I am open to suggestions with the roof, if you think I need to use slates or tiles, thats fine. I was hoping I...

Hey guys, I am planning to replace my two outbuilds / sheds with one big one, to gain a few square meters of space lost in between them. One is a brick shed, places on the boundary and the other is a wood shed, around 1m from the boundary. I want to replace it with a brick shed that is...
