    Hi eveyone,

    I am still try to get for myself a garage, and as I have quiet a room on the side of my rented house.
    I am wondering if I could build a garage threre.

    So obsiouvly I will need the agreement of the landlord. I was thinking it might be easier to get it build in steel.

    Is a planning permission required for steel or wood garage?

    Cheers
    Ed.

    Unless the house is of a similar finish to that you propose for the garage, well then planning permission would be required, irrespective of size.
