My sisters neighbours have erected a huge wooden shed approx 25 sq m in there back garden of there estate house, the problem is that following:
its 10.5 feet high with a felt roof
it also has a base wall of approx 3 feet as the garden slopes towards the house, so they put the shed on the highest point and have steps up to the shed door.
Planning states that the "shed" is exempt if its 25 sq m but it would need to be only 9 feet as it has a felt roof (if slate or tile it can be 12 feet), it is approx 13.5 feet high and is towering over the fence due to the slope, the partitions closer to the house are low compared to the height of the shed.
My sister was never informed by them what they were building and they have avoided her since this has gone up, was makes this worst is that she plans to put her house on the market within the next month but this shed is really a big negative, if the neighbours are standing at the shed door they can see directly into the my sisters garden and kitchen. As sheds go it has to be the ugliest built, they put in a pvc front door so looks like a bit of a "make and do" shed.
My sister was told that if she "objects" that they will tell the neighbour that it was them, so she wants to know if she does complain that something can be done or is she wasting her time and also causing alot of hassle with her neighbours? her neighbours are of the type that they are above everyone so you can guess what she is dealing with!!
Cheers
