Permitted development council agreed and now refused

The garden is 100ft and around 40ft wide . The area around the house is more then 50% after the gym was made since it stood . The height is 2.5m as it 2metres from boundry and only used for a gym. It about 12 metres wide. But the building is around 8 metres wide but we have made a shed on oneside for tools .


The council told us to put it thorugh building regulation which we did and we have the final certificate. The council planning now said its too big what can we do ?

Take it down?

Take the shed down. Get it approved and then put the shed back up again?

Trying to be clear.....You have built a home gym in the garden to building regulation standards. Why? A garden gym would be an outbuilding and normally exempt from building regulations.


Are you saying the gym is 12m x 8m? That's huge, even if part of it is a tool shed. All sheds and outbuildings over 30m2 need planning permission, so this seems to be where you have slipped-up. I have a polytunnel the same size,which is just polythere on a frame, and that required planning permission.

Hi the whole outbuilding is 12metres wide including shed. The inspector included the whole outbuilding as one but its separate as you can’t go into the shed from outbuilding .

Who honestly thinks a 12mx8mx2.5m will be permitted development, I think it will be very hard to get planning on such a gargantuan structure, more like a light aircraft hanger or cannabis factory lol

But it's still one building. That's all that matters.

Presumably you have been told which element/dimension of the building takes it outside of permitted development. You haven't told us.

If it is outside of PD, then you can, of course apply for retrospective planning permission. That sounds like the best route to start with. See how you get on.

If you fail at that, then there's always appeal and beyond that, altering the building so that it falls back within permitted development.

12m wide by 5m

An addition or extension to your house* is generally considered to be permitted developments. So you won't need to go through the additional hassle of getting planning permission as long as: Your extension is no more than half the area of land around the original house (curtilage).

More then 50percent left

That building is taking up about a quarter of your garden. That's a serious amount of construction by anybody's standards.
