Its easier to get away with building next to a legal building than in the middle of nowhere.0

Depends entirely on the planning policies for the area. Let's take the Green Belt for example - doesn't matter if a new house was proposed adjacent to an existing house, or if it's in the middle of a field 10 miles from the nearest house - they're both equally unacceptable!0 -

What about sheds and so on, they dont need planning permission do they because of the height I thought.
On the other hand Ive heard of a council ripping down a kids tree house0 -

A shed is not a dwelling house and comes under different rules.
Usually they do not need planning permission but sometimes they do.
The tree house was probably over the height limit.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -

Im not talking about acceptable or not, I said its easier to get away with.
Most countryside small holdings can get away with building another building near to other already existing buildings. No one would ever know, if they got planning or not.
Its harder to keep quiet if no other buildings near.0 -
There may be some truth in that, but from experience, neighbours, walkers and particularly Parish Councils (in isolated areas) nearly always spot breaches of planning control and report them, so just because something is adjacent to an existing building obviously doesn't mean you will get away with it.0

As seven-day-weekend says, sheds come under different 'rules'. Sheds DO require planning permission, it's just that many are automatically granted deemed planning permission as they benefit from permitted development rights. (Permitted development is a blanket planning permission for minor types of development - so such development still requires planning permission, it's just that it's granted under the PD legislation).sabretoothtigger wrote: »What about sheds and so on, they dont need planning permission do they because of the height I thought.
