Depends What your Council's like and how much Money and Consultant Surveys they need off you ?

 

[Fraserb]

£5500 just for the planning, all other fees and such will be on top

 

[Still Farming]

£401 then another £401 for every 75 square m above 540 square m,

 

[Bossfarmer]

£401 then another £401 for every 75 square m above 540 square m,

£401 per square m? ive worked out the shed will be 1486 square m

 

[Fraserb]

£401 per square m? ive worked out the shed will be 1486 square m

No £401 for every 75 square m

 

[Bossfarmer]

No £401 for every 75 square m

ok thanks and thats the scottish rate?

 

[Bossfarmer]

No £401 for every 75 square m

that comes to £7945?

 

[Fraserb]

1486-540= 920
920/75=12.2 so 13
13 * 401= 5213
5213+401= £5614

 

[Bossfarmer]

ok thanks

1486-540= 920
920/75=12.2 so 13
13 * 401= 5213
5213+401= £5614

Scottish as far as I know, fee's are more council dependant

Put an application in a few years ago. I sent them the cheque based on the area outer edge of the stantions.
They came back for another £500 because there was a 1 metre cantilever up each side.
Next time might forget to draw the overhang on the plans !!

don't put dimensions on your drawings they only specify that they are to scale, when reading off a scale drawing you can soon me 1m out!!! (always send plans on a4 makes it hard for them to scale from)

I made the mistake of putting every dimension on once, admitted it was a nob of a neighbour who got the council to pull me up on it all but if the dimensions hadn't been there it all looked correct to scale haha (draw 12ft bays I'm sure they wouldn't notice!!!) only cost me £80 to "amend my application" so I just accepted it and didn't moan, council didn't really bother just had to be seen to act after it had been reported.

Get the slats ordered in good time no point waiting

 

[ridger]

Did you go for the second hand or new tractor that time I can't find the thread

 

[lazy farmer]

have built 4 new sheds in my time. one of them on a footpath. council hasn't a clue. we have a rule about 100metres from a road ?

It only costs you money if you get found out. Build first worry about planning later

Edit if your location is really prominent put in for something on the smaller size and just build it bigger. Draws less attention as they know they will have passed something so very unlikely to come and inspect
