Now that is BIG.

Do you need planning permission for something that high?

Hi Mate

No, you don't need planning permission if the building is at least 5meters away from the nearest building (ie your house)

and no taller than 4meters to the top of the roof from the highest part of your land, I no as some get reported me to the council who came round to inspect.

So if any one is planning to do this sort of building make sure you get it right as some git will report you.

just to let you all know the roof is nearly done so will update the Blog very soon
