Big shed in the garden... some advice pleas!
Discussion
Looking for some advice for my mate… He has recently put up a large shed at the bottom of his garden… it’s about the size of a large single garage. It’s right at the bottom of the garden, well away from any of the houses and does not contravene any planning regulations.
Some of the neighbours have been grumbling abut the size of the shed and the fact that its “an eyesore”
A week ago he had a letter drop through the door from the local council saying someone had complained that the shed was going to be used for business use. Its not. It’s purely for his hobby which is building sailing dinghy’s.
He has not responded yet to the letter, any advice where to go from here?

Cheers guys…
I have been to see the said shed today… I have to say it’s a bit bigger than he let on….
Its 7 x 7 meters! Plus its 3.9 meters high! And it’s made of industrial steel cladding and actually looks like an industrial unit! I am really glad I don’t overlook it
However, it DOES comply with planning regulation (he has a large garden) but is overlooked by loads of neighbours…
No wonder they are complaining!!
He has now painted it green and has planted some fir trees around it… so it should be disappearing in about 15 years!
