Planning Permission for Building my own shed/worksop?

General Grobel

I want to build a shed/workshop from scratch using timbre, non-permanent foundations, won't exceed 2 meters in height, and less than 6 meters squared floor area. I've about an acre of land, so I won't be disturbing the neighbors.

Do I need planning permission for what is essentially a wooden box with a roof?

Poor Uncle Tom

What else is already built on the acre of land?

If youre in a rural area there are exemptions for 'agricultural use'. For example, storage of machinery/equipment.

The structure has to be a certain distance from the road (i think 30ft or might be meters).

In urban areas, you can build up to 20m without permission if its at the rear of your premises and a certain distance from boundaries etc

25 Sq. M assuming enough garden space left with limitations on height and windows facing boundaries in urban areas

This is assuming this situation is within the curtilage of a dwelling house. If not, no such exemptions can apply. Similar for the agricultural exemptions. That's why I think it is important to establish what other structures are on this one acre piece of ground.

It's an estate but with plenty of room between houses, all the other houses are near identical in terms of space and land. I've nothing else on site, and it'll be far away from any roads and at the back of the house.
