    Hi,

    Is planning permission required to build a garden shed (bricks)

    I know one can build an extension onto their house without permission once it is within certain dimensions. Anything similar in this situation ?

    Thx

    Here you go - from the exempted development regulations:

    CLASS 3

    The construction, erection or placing within the curtilage of a house of any tent, awning, shade or other object, greenhouse, garage, store, shed or other similar structure.

    1. No such structure shall be constructed, erected or placed forward of the front wall of a house.

    2. The total area of such structures constructed, erected or placed within the curtilage of a house shall not, taken together with any other such structures previously constructed, erected or placed within the said curtilage, exceed 25 square metres.

    3. The construction, erection or placing within the curtilage of a house of any such structure shall not reduce the amount of private open space reserved exclusively for the use of the occupants of the house to the rear or to the side of the house to less than 25 square metres.

    4. The external finishes of any garage or other structure constructed, erected or placed to the side of a house, and the roof covering where any such structure has a tiled or slated roof, shall conform with those of the house.

    5. The height of any such structure shall not exceed, in the case of a building with a tiled or slated pitched roof, 4 metres or, in any other case, 3 metres.

    6. The structure shall not be used for human habitation or for the keeping of pigs, poultry, pigeons, ponies or horses, or for any other purpose other than a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the house as such.


    If you do a search, I'm sure you will find lots more information on here.

    Can someone tell me where they take the 4m measurement from as the floor level of my shed will be 1ft higher than the floor level of the house. Planning has told me that it is 4m at the proposed site of the garage which would be fine but i have my doubts as everytime i ring planning they give me the impression that they would give you any answer just to get you off the phone . I just dont want to build and then they come and take the 4m measurement from the house level or lowest point in the garden..has anyone any ideas on this ..thanks
