Greenhouse & Planning Permission
Just as an add on to what I wrote earlier, have a look at this site. http://tinyurl.com/ek2yh It's the government site with regard to conservation areas but there's a lot more available there, too. -- Sacha South Devon But please do talk to your local Planning Department who will confirm my earlier posting :-))) Mike Isle of Wight -- ------------------------------------------------ Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association www.rnshipmates.co.uk International Festival of the Sea 28th June - 1st July 2007 |

I live in a conservation area, so if the answer is "yes" to the PP, how much am I going to have to pay? If you live in a conservation area, the only way you will find the answer to that question is to phone up the planning department of your local council and ask them. In most areas, they answer the phone and talk to you. Whilst it is always good advice to consult the LPA, if in doubt, the general rule is that one does NOT require planning consent for erection of a garden building in a conservation area, provided :- 1 It does not exceed 10 cubic metres 2 It is no closer to any highway than the nearest part of the 'original house", unless there is at least 20 metres between the structure and the highway. 3. Less than half the area of land around the original house will be covered by additions or other buildings 4. The building is to be used for purposes ancillary to the domestic use of the original house. 5. It is no more than 3 metres in height (above highest adjoining ground level) or 4 metres if it has a ridged roof. If it fails on any of the baove points, then you would need to apply for PP. If you went ahead and it transgressed on any point, you might expect this to be noted by the LPA, since most 'police' conservation areas very strictly, even to the extent of using aerial photography to check on people's back yards. You would then be invited to apply for retrospective pp. Cost (fee payable to council) of a pp application for this sort of thing is usually circa £135, but conservation area consents may be exempt from charge - that's definitely worth checking with the LPA :-) |

One other proviso, you cannot erect such beneath the canopy of a tree with a TPO. :-( :-(( That's interesting. What happens if the tree with a TPO on, is in a neighbour's garden, or in the case I am thinking, is a public park, and overhangs your garden? I am thinking of a case I was involved with a couple of years back where the Local Parish Council bought an old football ground to return it to its former use. The whole site had a blanket TPO on it and as I said, some trees went over neighbours gardens!!

Mike I assume (note assume) that it would still apply, otherwise the rule would be , which I think it is anyway. |
