That seems to be exactly the opposite of what section 1 above states. However, as has already been said, there are many millions of wooden sheds sited in such a way.

Class IV discusses exemptions for 'temporary buildings' and that is
defined as any building which is not intended to remain where erected for more than 28 days. I hope my shed will last al little longer than that :-) Andrew |

If it's a shed of any material smaller than 10 cubic metres in external volume (i.e. about 6' x 8') then (barring weird covenants) you can put it where you like as long as it's not closer to the road than your house If it's higher than 4 metres (with a pitched roof or 3 metres without) or covers more than 50% of the garden (in conjunction with all other sheds etc.) or is bigger than 10 cubic metres and is within 5 metres of the house the you need planning permission (see here : http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1995/Uks...4.htm#IDARND3D Class E) and, as stated higher up the thread if it's really big (greater than 15 square metres floor area) building regs kick in. Building regulations don't cover temporary structures like sheds, greenhouses or wendy houses, this is why they are called *building* regs, anything else can be taken down and shifted. Nice theory but wrong. Building regs and planning regs do cover sheds and wendy houses over certain limits (which most sheds and wendy houses don't exceed) Cheers, John |
