sheds

[monalyth]

can someone stop me from putting up a shed?

[Sixtusthe5th]

I'll have a go. Where are you?

Depends on how big. If it's going to be an eyesore to your neighbous / blocking out light. Wooden garden shed ok with me, but brick or other materials might not.

[football]

Put the shed anywhere you like, Not in my back yard.

Telephone your local council planning department and seek advice.

Where do you intend putting it, your loft may not be the best option

[derbyram]

I believe that, as a shed is deemed a temporary construction, you should have no problems so long as it os on your own land and does not severly impact your neighbours. A bloke in Devon has managed to so far avoid planning permission for his helicopter hangar by arguing that it's a temporary construction so a shed should be fine.

You would have to consult your deeds and any existing planning permissions on your house. In many new-build and renovation/conversion cases, permitted development rights have been removed from properties - especially rural ones and any shed must have full planning permission - the same often goes for oil/gas tanks and satellite dishes/aerials

If you realised how many people have illegal extensions and/or garden buildings you would be shocked. On the other hand, provided you have no informal objections for your neighbours then planning enforcement officeer typically have better things to bet getting on with than dealing with rogue sheds (how would they find out if you neighbours do not object?).

Yes, if you feel impelled to put one up, go and have a sit down with a nice cup of tea, and think about your habit.

I could come round & break your legs if that helps
