mmm several probs

you must not be able to encroach on your niebours privacy because of your increased height

you require planning if the total height from ground level 3m sloping roof
4m pitched roof amongst other requirements

cheers mate dont think it will bother the neighbours as they all have sheds and garages at the back of there gardens and we have nothing behind us so would not bother any1 behind are garden ,would the decking be strong enough for this shed type building it seems 2 be strong under food and there is no movement basically i want 2 build my own shed but with a nice glass front or as much glass as i can fit in so it would let light in so we could use it as a game/play room

mmm need to know how your decking was constructed[including spacings of supports and wether concteted in ect]

also need to know what size you call a little games room

speak to planning first. even if no neighbours overlook you one may complain at some stage. ring them up and ask and they will give you an answer over the phone.

As to the deck supporting the weight, it depends how its constructed and the weight of what youre putting on it.

You don't need planning permission for tempory structure, ie. anything made from timber.

You don't need planning permission for tempory structure, ie. anything made from timber.

it must comply with certain requirements to be planning exempt such as

less than 3m high sloping or 4m pitch roof[from the ground not the decking]
more than 1m away from boundary
less than "x" percentage of total gargen ect
more than"X" amount away from the house
ect ect
