I want to put a shed at the bottom of the garden so I wrote to the council to ask if I need permission, trouble is my house is listed so I always have to ask.

I kept well within the rules with size etc. Now they have written; I don't need Listed Building consent but I need full planning permission because the house is listed Undecided

Five lots of plans, sample materials and £135, to put up a shed Angry

And it will take up to 12 weeks, I'm not very happy and might not bother.

You could always do what my grandparents next door neighbour did many years ago Keith.
He wanted a small wooden shed to store his gardening tools in plus a small bench with a vice to do a little woodwork.
In those days you needed planning permission for anything you did.
He was refused so put the shed up anyway and applied retrospectively.
They turned him down again.
He then nailed small wooden wheels on each corner and said it was a temporary building as it was mobile.
As anyone else could keep a caravan on their drive ready for holidays his shed counted the same so the council were powerless to make him remove it.

Dewy I am way ahead of you, when I got the letter from the council I was a little peeeeved and gave them a call.

Told them I would put wheels on it and move it round the garden, but it would appear that is not allowed either. We have very restictive covenants which I am already breaking by using the stables as a workshop and parking a comercial vehicle on the property Shocked

.

Not too wise to upset them even more than I already have.

You could always ask for a "Lawful Development Certificate"...

Yikes, what a dangerous place to live.

Hello Wolf,

The lady at the council asked me for the sizes in metric. I told her that I was 55 years old and didn't speak European and I think she felt sorry for me. Grin
