There have been some changes to planning permission rules in recent years. these changes were designed to make certain home improvements easier to complete without having to get permission. there are now certain things you can do that are said to be �permitted development� projects. one area that comes into play here concerns garden buildings.. I want a big shed/workshop in the garden but im not sure on the planning permission i.e (size wise) for it how bigger shed can i have without planning permission?? update: do you know or tell me if i can atatch it the shed/workshop to the house like a conservatory?? i.e extra bedroom downstairs if that makes sence lol.. Here are the set rules when choosing to build a shed: 1* - planning regulations for sheds state that: sheds should be single storey. there should be no platforms, balconies or verandas on sheds. sheds should be a maximum of three metres high unless they have dual pitched roofs, in which case they can be up to four metres high..
The submission involves filling out a planning application costing around
