Legality of garden buildings...

[neds]

One of the projects of mine is to build a shed in my garden. I was wondering if I would require a permit of some sort if i was to erect a permanent shed like building which will be built into a corner of my garden.

My plan was to use breeze blocks to make up two sides of the wall, then a timber roof with tiles/felt. Now since this is going to butt against two walls I was unsure if this would be allowed.

The area where I am planning on building this is where there used to be an outside toilet, but this was demolished years ago so I'm assuming the foundation may be sturdy enough?
Also any tips on the building structure or the best way to go about it would be great!

Cheers

shed i always think sheds are built withwood, maby im wrong, but almost certainly does not sound like a shed, check your local planning department.

Might give the local land registry a call tomorrow hmmm

I think that you might find the local authority planning department will be able to give you more pertinent advice

You can check the rules for permitted development here.

The materials you use for building the shed are not relevant (to whether you can call it a shed, or whether it's permitted).

If the building you propose doesn't fall within the permitted development rules, you can still build it if you get planning consent.
