To put something like this in my front garden

[MugglesandLuna]

here

We have a quite wide front garden, but only a yard at the back (taken up by a trampoline).

Our neighbours house is at an angle to ours, round the corner a bit. It wont block out any light from them, but would you be annoyed if your neighbours did this??

Jins is right about planning. I agree with other posters re the garden being full of kids. I'd see that as a good thing, bringing endless social opportunities for my DCs, but not everyone would and your neighbours might not if it got noisy.

Is the front garden fenced off from the road or might excited children run out without thinking? If it is likely lots of random children will be playing on it, I think you need to check with your insurance company about what the position would be if someone got hurt on it

A tent garlic??!! You didn't say anything about a tent.

Bloody hell, I might as well build an extension or invest in one of the structures in the OP's link.

I was only thinking about your sofa getting soggy, izzy.

Probably best to move it back indoors, we wouldn't want you conducting your swinging parties out the front, would we?!

I'll have you know I've never had a soggy sofa garlic and as I am loathe to offend the sensibilities of my very naice neighbours, I only swing in my back garden

I quite fancy a swing in my garden ...

I wouldn't mind....as long as my DDs could come over and eat all your biccies play now and then!

Is it over 2.5 metres high?

THAT is the question.

Pop over to my AIBU about bungalows in my back garden if you want the lowdown on planning.

Sorry mrsD Jins is, of course, right on this one. If the front elevation is the principle elevation the height of the new structure doesn't matter it would still require pp. Silly rules but there you go.

grr why did I open the linik, now I am going to be gone for daaays reading that....
