We're a bit stuffed on teh PD front too, we wanted to get out veg plot up an running but need to get permission for shed and greenhouse

I had a chat on the phone with our Planning Consultant, (his assistant actually, who got 'The Book' out), he felt the restrictions were more about swimming pools, alterations to the actual dwelling, extensions and so on.

When I quizzed him about a normal garden shed and greenhouse, he said that would probably be considered OK as the PD restrictions are more for things which are wants not needs.

We're taking no chances. Also forgot to say well done. When will you start building?

So pleased for you, it's been a long wait which must have been frustrating.

Surely you must be allowed to put up a shed to store materials & tools?

If probably falls through, you could perhaps make do with an old van?

What is the plan for the build?
Have you a builder lined up, or is it all DIY?

Primarily self build but leaving options open. Skilled trades where needs be. Had long meeting with Ned Scharer of https://thenaturalbuildingcentre.co.uk/ today about accredited training opportunities for apprentices.

One would think so but nothing would surprise me with Anglesey Planners!

A shed does come under the PD rights so its no shed for you without paying for a PP application.

We now have to go through several approval stages. The first two being the plans for the entrance from the road and Code for Sustainable Home certification (of which there are three stages). We've already done the SAPS and structural engineering. After all that there's Building Regulations. We'r estimating the professional fee elements is around 1/3 of the total build cost.

They have you over a barrel - what can you do - is that much more than you estimated?
