I have an issue that I cannot find a definitive answer to.

I have a 6ft boundary wall (that I own) in my garden. My neighbours land on the other side about 2ft higher than my land. He has just built a shed against the wall and I am guessing it's apex is probably 2.5 metres hight. Unfortunately as his land is higher than mine it towers over my wall and stands about 3 metres above my ground level and wall.

I know the law states a shed can be no more than 2.5m high but as the land levels on either side differ I was wondering if this is a consideration

No, not really. What do you expect him to do, put up a tiny shed he can't get into.

No. It's measured from the floor it's on not the neighbours floor.

When you say he's built it against the wall, do you mean it's spearate from the wall or he's formed one of his shed walls from your wall?

What “law” are you referring to?

The ‘PD rules’ for ‘outbuildings’ state if it is to be located within 2m of a boundary, it should not exceed 2.5m above ground level. This level is taken from to which the outbuilding sits on. If an outbuilding exceeds this height, then it is not considered to be PD and would require a formal Planning application.

What are your issues with this shed, assuming you do have issues with it?

Why people edit their threads/posts if and when they’ve found the answer is beyond me. It could help those in future experiencing similar issues. Luckily @neilmcl had quoted the original post.
