    Its amazing that people think its ok to live in a shed.
    Noisy shower or not.:eek:

    Why is it not ok? I'd prefer a shed to a homeless shelter.

    Much better than living in a semi-D with a party wall designed by some celtic tiger failure

    Perhaps we should strive a bit higher than either.

    That's the trouble with these unpermitted sheds, though; they haven't been vetted and inspected by anyone, so there's no way to know if they're safe and up to standard or not. It's possible they were built very well with all of the necessary safety measures and proper insulation and fire safety measures and everything, but it's also possible that they were thrown together on the cheap, built out of highly flammable materials, with electrics hacked together by the clueless landlord or one of their "handy" relatives, and with no insulation to speak of. (And I'm sure you can guess which is more likely from someone looking to exploit the current housing market for a quick buck...) A prospective tenant looking at one of these dodgy places has no way of knowing one way or the other.


    Yes, but Neither was priory hall or how many apartments like them??
    Thats one gripe I have with the Council coming down on them, its inconsistent, because they failed to deal with the developer of Priory Hall.
    If all or even most structures built for living in where without question up to scratch in terms of all the stuff you mentioned, then yes Id say its reasonable for a council to have it torn down.

    Sorry but this is such a nonsense argument. Some developments were not checked properly so we should allow slumlords to rent out sheds? That's just daft.

    If you have a look there, you'll see you said that not me, Im just saying the council are applying two standards/being hypocritical,


    The poster I replied to said, "That's the trouble with these unpermitted sheds, though; they haven't been vetted and inspected by anyone, so there's no way to know if they're safe and up to standard or not".


    I'm saying that is already known to be the case with structures people are already living in.
