Summerhouse Conversion into Games Room / Workshop

As far as I understand it you don't need planning permission for a non permanent structure which is anything that doesn't need foundations or a concrete base laid.

Amongst other things like not taking up x % of ground space.
 
the eves have to be 2.2m or less ( mine are 2.1)
Total height not more than 3.8m as i remember... not exactly sure, but i did check and mine is under
its on a deck, not concrete foundations ... so all good
 
Are you sure about 3.8m? - my understanding is that it was 2.2m period - -anything- above that required PP. My room is 2.19 :)

Also anything that is to be used as a bedroom needs PP. And yes there is a ground space limitation also. No disrespect to anyone intended but if my neighbour built something that was 3.6m tall - I'd be all over it to ensure it didn't happen! :) same with an eyesore of a container in the garden :)

So 2.5 if near a boundary - which explains why I thought it was that for everywhere :)

4 with a pitched room 2.5 for eaves.

The cows next door to me don't complain about my container but I understand that some people wouldn't like it!
 
Sorry forgot to add picture of the cows next door, by way of explanation.

The stables are for my wife and daughter's horses.
