To think this would need planning permission?

[justlliloleme]

Neighbour behind appears to be good a woodwork & is often found sawing & drilling away. This isn’t a huge problem & doesn’t often bother us.

However we noticed they have recently covered a large part of their garden with a cement base - it’s probably just over half the garden. Hubby popped his head over the fence & workman said they were only laying the concrete but he thinks he is building a workshop.
Roll forward 3 months & this has appeared.

AIBU to think this would need planning permission?

What do I do? I’m worried they’ll be mire sawing & drilling going on once it’s built & it might even be a small commercial operation.

What do I do?

Where we live it’s needs permission if over 2.4 metres.

A new ruling comes into force in September whereby 2 storey extensions no longer need planning permission, they just need building regs, however this is only for detached properties.

If the building is within 2m of the boundary, no part of the building should be higher than 2.5m.

If it is more than 2m away, the eaves should not exceed 2.5m with height not exceeding 4m with a ridge roof, or 3m in other cases.

No more than 50% of the land surrounding the house (so not just the back garden) should be covered in extensions and out buildings.

The Council will investigate to see if PP is required.
