permitted development question came up today, a mate up the road is building a third shed but attaching it to an existing shed, more than 2mtrs from the fence, less than 4mtrs high, pitched roof etc. but I am sure you cannot join one to the other, but I cannot find a reference to it online, maybe normal people only have one shed! anyone know where to find a reference?

Should be OK for planning provided the combined size complies with Permitted Development rules (max 50% of curtilage, etc), but Building Control approval will be needed if the sheds when joined have a total floor area exceeding 30m2.

Rules are on the Planning Portal website.

Do people use these foam strips at the end of the metal roofing?

Pros keep bats and other flying things out, also stops driving rain at the ridge with low pitch roofs
Cons restricts air circulation below sheets

I thought that they would restrict air flow. I will only have a 4.5 degree pitch

Apparently stir fried bats in curry sauce are quite a likeable snack in some areas . . . . .

I dont have an idea ssue with bats, but they are an expensive addition to any roof if you want to replace it!

handy if you have built a non compliant shed, and a few great crested newts, shed becomes protected! I was reading a planning enforcement case yesterday and the developer had thrown a few great crested newts into the area around an illegal pond to try to get the notice lifted...…..

Ok now the slab is curing what do i do with the DPM that is left over the edge? Just trim it or fold it up the frame when building?

Pics?
I’m not sure what you’re building the shed out of but if it was wood and you’re using DPM on the walls I’d leave it long and overlap the wall dpm so that no water goes onto the wood. I did similar on my shed.

I shall grab a pic or 2 now going out to spray it, yes timber frame 3 sides retaining wall one side about 80cm-1m high then timber on top.
I shall be using a membrane over the frame once it has been boarded with OSB.

Sounds very similar to mine, yes don’t cut that off. Tuck it behind the wall DPM. Saves water ingress from the bottom. Most damp issues seem to stem from the bottom of any wooden structures. At least from what I’ve seen.

Thanks long bit is to go up the retaining wall between the insulation and wall then it's getting filled with soil for a raised bed.

I was thinking to lay the frame work timbers on some felt to protect them a bit too

Rubber floor tiles work a treat, lift wood just enough to keep it dry if there is any water ingress. I used stork boardfor the same thing on our chicken hut.

wats stork board

Its plastic sheet made from recycled silage bale wrap. I used neoprene under the timber bottom edge of my greenhouse. Doesnt matter what you use as long as it keeps the wood above any lying water.

My shed is on an outer single coarse of engineering brick, with dpm on top.
