Garden structures
6 Answers
Is there a limit to the height of a structure in a back garden ?
My neighbour (semi-detached) is building a wooden gazebo across his garden from fence to fence. It stands about 3ft above our 6ft fence so is roughly 7ft in height. Does he need planning permission for something like this ?

Maths must have changed a great deal since I used to teach it! ;-)
Garden sheds (and similar structures) are normally classed as 'permitted developments, and so do not require planning permission. The height limit is 3 metres = 9'10" (or 4 metres for a structure with a ridged roof). See here:

Hi my local council has a policy plan and you are allowed to put a wooden structure up as long as it is a metre away from boundary and flat roof 3 metres high and pitch roof 4 metres high from ground up and its not allowed to be more than 50 percent of you garden and not allowed to protrude past the front line of your house.And you can not use it for living area.
And most councils have adopted this policy plan
