Building a shed.

[eggsarascal]

I'm going to build myself a shed/workshop in the garden. It will be about 40 foot long by 15 foot wide and 8 foot in height.

 

Anyone got any plans or links to plans.

 

Thanks muchly.

That would help wouldn't it!

 

I'll lay a concrete base. I'm going to build the shed in timber, build the frame then clad the outside and insulate and board the inside. With a flat'ish roof.

Yup, I'm after doing the same as B&Q's finest sheds aren't secure enough for my shiny new kit!

 

The regs are here Planning Portal - Outbuildings

 

 

• No outbuilding on land forward of a wall forming the principal elevation.
  
• Outbuildings and garages to be single storey with maximum eaves height of 2.5 metres and maximum overall height of four metres with a dual pitched roof or three metres for any other roof.
  
• 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.
  
• No verandas, balconies or raised platforms.
  
• No more than half the area of land around the "original house"* would be covered by additions or other buildings.

• *The term "original house" means the house as it was first built or as it stood on 1 July 1948 (if it was built before that date). Although you may not have built an extension to the house, a previous owner may have done so.
   
  
• *Designated land includes national parks and the Broads, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, conservation areas and World Heritage Sites.Looked at regs, as far as I can make out; no more than 50% of your property. If its within 2
  

 

Shame, I like the idea of a shed with a balcony!

maybe asking a carpenter for advice would help.

No I'm not at work Jon! I told ya I was going to slow down, Mondays are out for now. I can loose a shed the size I want in my garden. So the 50% thing ain't an issue.

 

It would be nice to have a set of plans to work off though.
