gixer1 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Not sure about England but up here it depends on the square meterage of the building you are erecting. Would think you ok with those dims... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpentermark Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) Drop the height to 2.4m and make sure it doesn't affect the light etc. from adjoining properties and you wont need planning permission.

Do I need planning permission Cheers Will My advice to you would be to ask your local planning authority otherwise you could be in bother listening to dubious advice. Unless of course we have qualified planning officers on here that are working with the current Scottish planning regulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artschool Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 instead of foundations install an old garage car lift, build as high as you like and when the planners come to inspect just lower it into the pit. that would be my expert opinion on the matter.

Not by roads and in large garden 1/4acre of a 4 bed bungalow. Do I need planning permission Cheers Will ive been down this route, and as simple as it seems, it aint simple....everything is governing by a massive 3 volumn bible called the "town and country planning act"...you can do anything you like as long as you adhere to that.....thats what i thought anyway !, i had my architet advise me and it went on the percentage area of your plot....ie: do what you like as long as it dosnt exceed a certain percentage and it dosnt have foundations.......so i put all the uprights in aaaaannnnddd, yup the planning office were around and said it was ileagal, and i had to stop, so i stopped for a day as i had to put 8 dogs and my shed stuff somewhere and continued to build, got more visits and snotty threatning letters, but i got bloody minded as up the road ( this is a triple sssi area !) was an old couple who had 7 B&Q sheds in the garden to store stuff from the church charity stall !!!!.....i pointed this out and i got a letter back saying i could apply for "retrospective planning permission " so i coughed up £163 and got my permission.....if i had been a banker with loads of dough i would have gone to court and contested it, but if you win costs are never awarded against the planning dept you have to foot the costs............ My advice is see what other people have in the area....if you go and see the local planning dept, do not accept what they say is cast in stone, it is far easier for them to say no.......what it all boils down to is Height-area-no concrete foundation-and what the area around you is like ....when you get an agreement get it in writing let us know how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchman Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Never got to phone the planners today to busy... I'll try tomorrow in the old days 20years ago if you went to see the planners they would look down their nose at you and never give you an answer, they now have to abide by a "charter" it is not their job to advise you, they like to see a proper presentation by a planning consultant, BUT now they are sort of duty bound to give you an indication of what would be acceptable and what is not acceptable...some of the old planning officers are brass plated ********, but the new generation the youger ones can be very helpful......good luck, never let them know you are as well informed as you are as it will put their backs up...always keep a little back, it is worth remembering that all the council planning officers of old were usually not clever enough to cut it in the private sector as planning consultants, but they weild a lot of power now regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrycatcat1 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Never got to phone the planners today to busy... I'll try tomorrow Once you have decided what you want and they say what you can have without planning permission get it confirmed in writing, for the avoidance of doubt.
