RMweb Gold Popular Post queensquare Posted June 3, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Lots of recycling on this bank holiday Friday. The basis of the extension is the old roof and the window, which is going to shed lots of lovely north (ish) light on my new bench is also pre-loved.

VRBroadgauge Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Nice job on the framing Jerry. As I'm not from where you are did you need a permit to do the works or are garden sheds exempt? Here in oz they make us get a permit for just about everything. Edited June 5, 2022 by VRBroadgauge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the colour it’s still been dubbed the Highland Lodge! Kim favours a dark green which would go some way to blending the assorted materials together and she is the boss after all so ....

No need for a shed permit here - just as well for a shed enthusiast like me! I’m hoping to have enough bits and pieces left over to give the chicken run a makeover.

I’m hoping to have enough bits and pieces left over to give the chicken run a makeover. Jerry AIUI, size (possibly as a percentage of plot area) matters. A neighbour has had some difficulty over erecting such a structure on an unused corner that he owns between other dwellings. Council regards it as equivalent to an allotment and doesn't want to allow anything over 10x8. John Edited June 5, 2022 by Dunsignalling 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time now for BBQ, beer and probably some bubbly. Clearly the dawgs are wondering just where their bed is going to end up, all this outside becoming inside can be very confusing, and what with the sky getting higher too... Seriously, that looks fantastic Jerry, I don't myself think you can beat the creative re-use of what has gone before, new timber framing going on too, deep joy. Your work bench set up by that window is going to be fabulous, overlooking the vegetables - bliss Really looking forward to seeing what you do next! In my own mad world I have at last finished the "hard landscaping" and am now contemplating watercourses, just got to lift that Pittisporum up a bit.... But seriously, bloody well done on your own transformation Jerry, it is such a joy to see it all coming together in your lovely garden. All I need now is chickens, still reading your book....

Simon The hard landscaping is looking great Simon, an operating well with a stunning view.

RMweb Gold Donw Posted June 5, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 5, 2022 There are regulations concerning sheds in the UK last time I checked Planning permission provided that a) it is within height limits and b) your house isn't a listed building or in a consevation area or other special area you can cover up to 50% of the plot with sheds. building regulations small sheds are exempt. medium sized sheds if close to the boundary there materials should be fire resistant. larger sheds the building ccontrol may want to check the structure is sound Don 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when I ordered mine (20' X 10') that it was close to needing planning permission, but once insulated inside the floor area is (just!) within limits. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1 m is to do with the fire risk a medium or large shed within 1m of the boundary needs to be of fire resistant material. Local byelaws may insist on the 1m for any shed. I m from the boundary does also mean you can get around it to clear rubbish and treat the shed when needed. You can always store moveable items in the space between the times access is needed.
