The majority of garden sheds do not require planning permission or approval under building regulations. However, permission is required for any shed which covers over half the garden, which is not for domestic use or which is over 3 metres high with a pent roof or 4 metres high with an apex roof. Larger sheds which are within 2 metres of a boundary and over 2.5m high (8'2") also require planning permission.
Building regulation approval is also required for any shed with an internal floor area of more than 30 square metres whether the structure is temporary or permanent including garden sheds.
