Planning for small shed exemption question (garage already built with planning)

shooter69

Hi all

Searched the forums but couldnt find a definitive answer. I built a garage of approx 30 sq metres roughly 9 years ago - full planning permission given by local authority. Its quite a decent size garden and now we feel we need a smaller shed circa 12-15 sqm to accomodate a few other bits that have built up over the years as part of a hobby of mine, my question is am I still covered by the exemption of 25sqm because I built the original shed of 36sqm with planning or have I "used up" all my 25sqm exemption and as such cannot put up this smaller shed.

Thanks in advance

The areas are cumulative, so you need planning for this new shed.

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.

Thanks for prompt reply Syd. I thought that was the case and just wanted to confirm , its a shame I need to get planning for a wooden shed 12sqm but thanks for the clarification
