Garden shed as a Bedroom

If it was tarted up real nice then it'd be awesome but don't do it.

Wouldn't you need planning permission if you intended to live in it?

Not unless someone finds out.

This is a man who considers his living options to be a shed, conservatory or loft conversion. I'm guessing planning law isn't uppermost in his mind.

Please start living in your parent's shed. And start a blog. With pictures.

Considering he's just put the information in the public domain, finding out is merely a matter of time.

MCN: a stickler for the law.

A loft conversion would be the best option, and would add loads of value to your parents house. How come you don't want to share a room? I had to share with my little brother, who snores, until I left for Uni.

Actually that strawberry floating sucked :lol:

Seriously, just wait until Uni.

I'm one of those reformed types, who goes around to schools and tells kids to be good.

Building regs as well as planning permission.

You only need planning permission if the building has foundations AFAIK.

There are loads of conditions for outbuildings that mean they might need planning permission.

Sorry - thats total crap. You need can need planning permission to put a fence up, chop down a tree or tarmac your drive.

Maybe.

Planning permission is required if it's above a certain height isn't it? Nothing to do with foundations.

I'm sure it was on some Ch4 show where people were putting living areas in their back gardens.

I believe it needs to be classed as a 'portable building' to avoid planning permission, which means it can never have foundations or be taller than 4M.

We have a brick shed in our garden, proper roof, damp proof, double glazed, mains power etc. Would never sleep in it mind, you're pretty mental for wanting to. It used to be a play room for the kids who used to live here, now it has bikes and a tumble dryer.
