Default Re: Shed Build

BTW the side of the shed/garage can be right up to the boundary as long as the height is not more that 6ft from 3ft at the boundary. if your over 3ft from the boundary then it can be 8ft.

lets say you put a 'apex' roof shed with the slope going towards the boundary directly up against the boundary then as long as the height of the 'slope' at 3ft in from boundary is 6ft in height or less your fine to erect without planning permission. if you do the same as above but put the 'front/back' of the shed at the boundary and the height of the apex is over 6ft then it fails the regulations and planning permission is needed.

i have looked at building a big shed in the back garden but looking at the costs with tongue and groove timber was silly money compared to a prefab concrete one which i was surprised how little it was for a 'secure' shed/garage.

build it cheap.. build it again in a few years.
