If its less than 15m2 the non combustible rule doesn't apply, that said, mine is bigger and is block built with a metal roof. The neighbour has a lot of tall planting so it looks fine from their side. We are on poor draining clay soil so in heavy rain a moat would literally be a moat. That...

My workshop is right on the boundary and I got planning without issue. Its 3.2m tall. You could slope it so the wall near the boundary is lower if you are worried.

Any reason to think you wouldn't get planning permission for a taller building? Mine is 3m high and it went through planning permission without a hitch. Surely it'll be cheaper, easier and better once finished. If it gets denied you can still fall back on your current plan.

For a small mirror a self drilling fixing will be fine. Eg https://www.screwfix.com/p/easyfix-self-drill-plasterboard-fixings-metal-32mm-100-pack/2422H For a bigger mirror hollow wall anchors are good. You do need to get the right length and have enough cavity to push the unexpanded fixing in...

We've got one similar to the link in the first post. Its in a lean to so very well ventilated area. Works well. Pumps out loads of heat. I think it was marketed as a horse shower but works on people too. I have seen then fitted at camp sites. One place had an indoor shower with the boiler...

Festool are very easy to set and accurate. Obviously pricey too. The scale is much larger and it indexes every mm making it simple to get right and repeat. Then there is a fine adjust for getting it spot on.

Don't mow it all. Lawns are poor for wildlife and very dull. I presume you won't be playing bowls or football on it. Put some other plants in or nurture a wild flower meadow. You can always mow some paths around and through it.

Mine is a bit like you describe. Its a little bigger (about 4 x 7) and single skin block built. Inside is lined with rockwool on some walls and celotex on others then covered in OSB. Got the OSB second hand, it was building site hoarding and came ready painted and was cheaper than plasterboard...

Yes, funnily enough I've seen that. It doesn't give a suitable value for the capacitor and I couldn't get it to work. Hoping for a more practical answer on here from someone who knows motors, even if that is just proving the motor is kaput

I picked an old fan hoping to use it in the workshop. It'll run and gives decent airflow but it won't start. If I power it then it buzzes, if I give it a little nudge it spins nicely. I wondered if it needed a capacitor but I tried a couple, rather blindly, in a couple of different...

You could have a look at stokbord. Its recycled plastic. I quite like the mottled finish but it is quite dark. It'll take screws. Cuts easily. More expensive than OSB. Mine is lined with old building site hoardings. Its OSB but came ready painted

Flashband might do it. Use the primer to get it to stick well. "Repaired" a cracked corner on mine about 3 years ago. Still holding up.

If the overhang becomes large enough to be counted as a veranda then it may planning permission, although I think that is more down to floor and if it is raised

The cheap ones are really flimsy and crack easily. You can get the proper industrial ones (with the interlocking finger lids) on Facebook marketplace for £6 each.

I don't know if you will easily find actual plans but there are plenty of documented shed builds on here or on the web that should give you some idea. This is Colin Furze's shed presented in his usual style Not pent, but that bit is pretty simple: Joists, deck, covering.

If you keep chopping the greenery it'll eventually die. That burning thing really doesn't work, it'll take ages and several fires. If you properly want rid then dig it out, which is hard work but quite satisfying, or hire a stump grinder.

Depends on your ground conditions. I'd say you probably do but there are plenty of 200 year old stone buildings just sitting on dirt. I suppose you are trading off doing a load of extra work now against a potential load of remedial work in the future.

To be honest, if I bought a house in that situation I'd assume the fence was the boundary and then do whatever I liked on my side. I don't think the neighbour has done much wrong there. Obviously if they were subsequently rude about it after being told then that is another matter.

If its been there 2 years and no one has mentioned it then I'd keep quiet. If does become an issue you can always apply for permission then.

These are very good: https://www.google.com/search?q=coat&prmd=simvn&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjVp5Oz84LpAhX8URUIHdaaB4UQ_AUoAXoECA4QAQ&biw=600&bih=960&dpr=2
