Sheds and planning

[edition]

Hi,

Just a quick question. Do I need anything planning wise to erect a 10x12ft timber shed? I am wanting to put one at the back of my garage.


I didn't think I need planning but just wanting to make sure before i buy one!


Thanks

Sheds are considered to be permitted development, not needing planning permission, but... two things you should watch:

Maximum height of 2.5m in the case of a shed within two metres of a boundary of the curtilage of the dwellinghouse.

Sheds within the curtilage of listed buildings any outbuilding will require planning permission.

If you accept emails I can email a pdf outlining all the details?

Temporary structure in most cases therefore no permission is required

Interesting - have the rules changed recently as I looked at a home office/fancy shed a while ago and gave up as it had to be 2m away from the boundary fence or under (i think) about 6ft.

If I can go up to the boundary and still be 2.5m that sounds perfect - is that now the case?

Have a look on the link Busamav posted!

The interactive householders guide is very informative!!!

I think it has to be inflammable to be that close. I'd check.

Do you mean 'non-flammable'?
