Proposal

The proposal is to build a wooden shed for the storage of wood and garden machinery within our garden. The shed will be 7m x 4m at the base, with a 1m roof overhang at the front of the shed. The height to the eaves will be 1.4m with the apex of the dual pitch roof having a maximum height of 3.4m from the ground. The shed will be more than 2m from the fence line/boundary of the neighbouring property (the owners of which have been consulted prior to the proposal being submitted, and are supportive of our plans). The shed will be free standing without the need for a permanent (concrete) base, and the materials and appearance will be in keeping with existing outbuildings in the immediate area (i.e. timber cladding in natural colours). It is intended to site the proposed shed in an area adjacent to our neighbours established shed and greenhouse, and next to a mature boundary hedge, thereby reducing the visual impact of the proposal from Park Lane.
