If that's the frame in question then it doesn't look that terrible to me. Should you really have a photo of someone else's children on here though?

OP you could always build a 15 foot fence and then add a roof from the fence to your house and hey presto job done know more seeing the climbing frame.

He is actually a she, hence quine! :rotfl::rotfl:

I'll leave the original question for you to ponder.

To be honest that's a rather flawed interpretation of the rules IMHO

The maximum height as referenced in the link concerns a maximum eaves height of 2.5 metres, it would have to be strangely constructed for it to even have eaves

It depends entirely on how the climbing frame has been constructed but there are plenty of ways of building them that ensure they can't be classed as an outbuilding by even the most zealous council bureaucrat

Have another read.

The Maximum height allowed for your climbing frame is 2.5 metres, which must be installed
within two metres of a boundary.

Having given that page a quick read I wouldn't trust it any further than I could throw a climbing frame. Surely the 2.5m height limit applies if it is within 2m of a boundary. That doesn't mean the structure has to be within 2m of a boundary.

Put a fake camera up a pole at the end of your garden, pointing at it, with a sign on the camera: Pete Dough Internet Streaming Services.

e.g. "The Maximum height allowed for your climbing frame is 2.5 metres, which must be installed within two metres of a boundary." "There are to be no verandas, balconies or raised platforms."

That 2.5 metres will be on their (lower) side, not counting from your (higher) position.

The monstrosity is touching their fence or should i say our fence as we purchased it and erected it. it is 8.5 ft high from the decking.. that is the back wall of the frame it is square in shape .

The web site quoted there is not stating the planning rule correctly. There is no compulsion, as in, "must be installed within two metres of a boundary."

The Planning Portal states that outbuildings must have a: "Maximum height of 2.5 metres in the case of a building, enclosure or container within two metres of a boundary of the curtilage of the dwellinghouse." if they are to be regarded as permitted development.

In other words, a climbing frame higher than 2.5m within two metres of the boundary needs planning permission.

As 8' 6" is 2.5908m it seems that the frame may be breaking the permitted development rules, but not by much, and I doubt if the OP has measured that accurately!

Just plant some conifers to cover it up & when they have grown a bit, they may help muffle any noise also.
