Is planning permission needed to build little workshop on garage?

[Supercaptaincrash]

Im toying with idea of building a little workshop on the rear of my garage but not sure if i need planning permission or not? does anyone have any experience with similar?

basically at the rear of my detached single garage i have roughly around 10 sq ft of flagged area and i wouldnt mind building a nice little workshop for my heli gear and helis !:cheers2:

if its a wood / glass construction it classes as a temporary strructure (shed / consevertory ) and is exempt. If you build it with cavity walls and tiled roof however its a bit different

was looking at brick and block and the brick work tying in with the existing garage which is a single garage with a flat roof!

best thing to do is pop into your local planning dept and get a booklet or just phone and they might send one.

This is what you need [url=http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/miniguides/outbuildings/outbuildings.html]Householder Permitted Development[/url]

Depending on location to boundary (not closer than 2m if higher than 2.5m), eaves height of 2.5m and max height of 3 or 4 m (depends on roof style), it is not on 'designated or protected' land or a 'listed' building, not forward of the original front elevation, less than 30 sq m, will not result in more than 50% of total area of land around the original house being built on, then no planning permission required. Also Building Regs may apply.... but these are easy, no closer than 1m to boundary unless mainly constructed of non combustible material..

You need permission to break wind in this country now never mind a workshop !

Good advice above, no such thing as a tempary structure, yours will most likely be seen as permitted development, but check with the local planning dept and remeber as a tax payer you pay their wages! So their there to help!

Just go ahead and build your workshop.
