Hi,
We have a six foot high wooden fence at the end of our garden in
not
so
sunny Aberdeen. I want to replace the fence with a breeze block wall.
Two
questions:-
a) what height of wall can you build without needing planning
permission?
b) can I build a lean-to greenhouse/shed without planning permission?

uk.legal would be a good place to ask this.

What a sensible chap - I'll do just that.

Why bother with another newsgroup which, whatever its collective wisdom
in legal matters, is highly unlikely to be able to give you the
authoritative *local* information regarding walls and sheds in Aberdeen
that you can get from visiting or phoning your local authority planning
department?

It is they, and they alone, who can tell you exactly what you want to
know. Not only that, but you should receive an immediate answer
precisely focussed on your particular local enquiry, without having to
wait for, and then sift, the responses on the newsgroup.


Quite right - advice from a legal newsgroup would cut little ice with an
enforcement officer, should one appear on the doorstep at some future
juncture, or with a future buyers' lawyers should you try to sell a house
without the relevant consent or a 'letter of comfort' from the LPA. The
local planning authority actually employs people to advise members of the
public on questions like the one concerned.
