The land is at the bottom of my large garden.
There is already a zinc shed there,but want to re-build it bigger/larger.

in the uk, if it is built out of bricks then yes, if it is out of wood, then no, because wood is classed as temporary building
I would say yes you need planning permission for any thing you build. I had to get permission for both my wooden garden shed and a greenhouse both were 8 feet by 6 feet, had to be three feet away from any boundary fence or any service IE any manholes and drains etc
(8feet by 6 feet is about 250 by 180.)
But most councils have there own rules , better check first before building anything other wise you may be told to take it down, then permission just might be harder to get.
A few years ago a builder thought planning permission was in the bag so started to build several bungalows but was made to demolish them.but the choice is yours, best of luck to you.
Depending on where you live you may be able to do it within permitted development rights.
Unless you live in a conservation area you can increase the footprint of your buildings by a certain percentage.
I’m not going to try to explain it here because I would urge you to contact your local council and ask them.
depends wher you are. In Ireland you dont need planning permission if its not a permanent structure eg. zinc shed. If it is a permanent structure (made of blocks) it must be less than 120square feet (i think, not sure on that figure)
Hi,sorry to have to tell you but if your council is like mine then yes you will need planning permission.You can phone your local planning & ask without giving your name.Good Luck
It depends on your city codes and how big you are going, you may want to call your city and check before building. Most Sheds do not require a permit.
The 3 things that matter in deciding if it needs planning permission or not is the the floor area, height and how far it is from the closest highway
Just phone council and enquire, the fact there is allready a shed there, should not be a problem. Best be safe than sorry.
it is best to check first but if it is not attached to the house it should be ok . allthe best molly
You will probably need a building permit. Some citys are real fussy about that.
In our area you would need a building permit. We found out the hard way.
