View Full Version : "shed" project
this isn't strictly mine but im helping my mate build this mansion lol its 25ft long 9ft deep and at least 8ft high !!!! we originally made the back wall in one section. however after then making the two ends and partition and realising how extremely heavy they they were we decided to cut the back wall in half lol . we then treated the wood then platic sheeted the panels and then roof felted them. i didnt take any pics of all this but this is a couple of pics of half the back, a side and the partition. right of the partition is going to be the shed which measure 6ft wide, 9ft deep and 8ft high. the other room is going to be a gym :d

this thread may not interest many but im proud of what we've achieved so far bearing in mind its only two days work so far
on one of the side panels something made me think it wasnt square, so we measured the diaganols and it was only 2mm out!!! for a 8ft by 9ft panel we were quite chuffed with that
Looks like a garage base that, you wanna get another car in there and build something else mental lol
na we'll build the garage when we put the extension on the house :p
Fcuk me man, is there nothing you cant turn your hand to?

I thought this was to do with Baxters old shell. lol
That's one hell of a shed. It's the size of a hotel to me lol
Could you knock a wall down and build an epic size shed in about a week? Around august next year, parents will probably be away for a week you see... lol

have you got planning permission
Non permanent structure, aslong as theres no "Amenities" (If there is shut the fook up about them) your fine, afik you cant have anything bigger than the floor plan of your house:thumb:
Sheds/workshops for the win.
dont need planning because its non permenant as matt said and it doesnt cast a shaddow on any of the neighbours so the sweet FA anyone can do.
BOD this is the first wooden thing ive ever built so im hardly an ace chippie lol. simply used a square thingy and a tape measure, job done

I'd be careful. Depending on your Council, the planning rules are totally up for interpretation and abuse.... It's not as clear cut as that ^ . As long as no-one complains, you should be ok. If you do run into any issues, feel free to drop me a PM as i could probably help you with advice !
well we've been looking into planning stuff for our garage we plan to build and they are pretty lenient. so long as its under 3 meters tall we should be fine
the polythene sheeting will come to haunt him in the future, it will actually help to trap moisture into the walls causing damp & rot. you can get breathable membranes for roofing that work really well.
i thought there was a certain area you are allowed to add on with out planning permission, or is that for extensions? and not the non fixed structures...
70m3 of construction. it includes sheds & garages, you can basically build anything you like under the permitted development rule.

if its done right it wouldnt look like a barn
a barn in somebody's back garden in the town might look ok in Eire, but certainly not in northamptonshire....
exactly lol we're hoping for a kinda summer house look

lol Permitted development.
Permitted development is one of the most un-clear and grey areas in planning. Basically meaning, i wouldn't trust it at all . Most councils now have a Permitted development "Checking" service, which means they will look at your plans and tell you wether it falls under permitted development laws.
IIRC West Sussex, it takes 8 weeks and is a free service.
Planning costs you a little money, and takes 6 Weeks.
So, for the sake of £200, you may skip all the permitted development bull**** and go straight for a planning application that you know will be passed.
I've been witness to people having to pull multiple storey extensions down due to infringment of planning/Regulations policy; at their own expense and time, to be re-built the next week.

permitted development is simple. 70m3 & within existing boundaries & bylaws... in leics. you draw a piccy, with dimensions.. take some photos, ring up the planning dept & ask for a meeting.... it took us a day to find out if we needed planning..and if the planning officer says ok, then its ok.. simples......
i need to demolish my garage before work commences so that has slowed up my plans a tad.....:(:(

but you still include the 70m3 of permitted development, so you are actually applying for a much smaller added extn.....

/\ and who's fault is that nick?? if they'd rung the council, and spoken to their neighbours beforehand, they would have saved a heap of trouble.

There appears to be no way to get a car inside? This is a serious design fail imo lol
its not a fooking garage :(

Not every council is the same, I've dealt with numerous, from Liverpool to South lakeland (Lake district) and their input varies. Again, numerous circumstances have led to me/us just applying for a full planning application as an easy option . As i said, if you mention Permitted development to West Sussex, they'l make you submit some plans/photos and give you an answer within 8 weeks; it's rediculous. Sounds like you've got yourself some decent planners !
Anyways, all i'm saying is that from my expirience; they can be a right pain in the **** at the best of times. But like you say, as long as your neighbours are cool with it all, there shouldn't be a problem.
another update :)
