Thank you, I agree, disputes can escalate, and this one already has. The shed is 31' 3" in length by 18 feet wide by 11 feet in height. This puts it well above the 30 square metres needed for Building regulations. However, if my Local Council choose to ignore Building reglations, they can , and have. It has been treated as a shed, and now has 3 motor cycles, and cast iron lathes and cast iron drilling machines, and god knows what else. So yes, the dispute has escalated.It did not need Planning Permission as it was within his curtilage, and for the enjoyment of his own property (Stuff the neighbours) and he has got away with building an Industrial Unit, on the cheap, and in a poor quality, and the Council are not bothered. Thank you all for your advice, I have to go and lower my Blood Pressure. Regards John103175.
