Hello,

Can anybody tell me if I am going to require Planning Permission to
erect an aluminium greenhouse (6' x 10') in my garden. I live in a
conservation area, so if the answer is "yes" to the PP, how much am I
going to have to pay?


Stating the obvious, why don't you just phone up your local planning officer
and ask? We are also in a conservation area, also an AONB, and planning
restrictions are very tight. We erected our greenhouse on loose-laid breeze
blocks (not a permanent foundation) so as far as we are concerned it is not a
permanent structure. No-one has complained yet (please don't all rush to do
so .....)

Good question Sally, the answer is, that I may erect it without
permission and I don't want the buggers to know who I am, just in case
they come sneaking around after their pound (or several hundred pounds)
of flesh. Like the idea of the concrete blocks though,
I could always use one to belt any unwelcome council snoopers.
