Planning permission for shed in front garden?

I believe you are only doing somthing wrong if told to make changes & you don't.

On a lighter note perhaps you could do with an even higher fence between you.& your neighbour

puddy

well the neighbour now says that because the boundary that we are discussing is our boundary in the deeds, we are responsible for the cost of the upkeep of their fence!! (ie, they want the money for changing it from bamboo to solid and presumably any cost of changing it back or cutting it down) we have a boundary brick wall which she asked permission last year to affix the fence to (the bamboo one), wish i hadnt given permission now.

on a serious note, i hope that the weight of the solid fence isnt going to damage the wall

I suppose you could always ask them to remove the fixings as it's damaging your wall.
We had an issue with the boundary between us and our neighbours when we bought the house many years back. It was our responsibility in the deeds, had diseased trees in it and we were planning to get rid of it anyway. The neighbour welcomed us by saying she was seeing her solicitor about getting us to sort it. It just so happened we used the same solicitor so he informed us he couldn't represent either party, but went on to say all you need to define a boundary is a piece of string.
We put a solid fence in and a few months later somebody broke into their house from the back. We were in at the time and might have seen it if it hadn't been for the fence nicely concealing the burglar!
Fortunately, we went on to have a good relationship with them after that.

No you are not, they chose to replace fence, no one asked them to.

From experience fence & boundary disputes can become petty & exasperating & as so I'd go into ignore mode, if possible.

Take back permission and request that the fixings are removed or even better take the whole fence and put up a even bigger uglier fence!

The height of the fence is a problem for puddy so putting up a higher one wouldn't help.

Many outbuildings can benefit from permitted development rights and therefore do not require express planning permission from the Council.

There are several criteria which all need to be complied with in order for it to be permitted development. If the outbuilding (and yes, it is an outbuilding) is forward of the house, then yes it definitely needs planning permission. The most common criterion that people fall foul of when erecting an outbuilding, is that it can only be a mximum of 2.5m high if any part of it is within 2m of any boundary - which actually makes quite a few sheds, greenhouses etc require planning permission if they are erceted close to the garden boundaries, rather than benefiting from permitted development rights. Also, if you live within a conservation area or AONB, then the outbuilding cannot be to the side of the house either, if you want it to benefit from permitted development rights.
