If there's only 8 of them can't they stay out?

Looking at your other posts (bought 70 milk goats but not got a milking parlour) makes me wonder if you know what you're doing. I'd highly recommend that you spend a bit more time planning ahead and a little bit less buying livestock until you have the facilities to care for them.
Depending on your holding size will depend on the Planning Permission required. If you are under 5Ha and/or in an AONB or National Park you may need full planning permission and the size and style will need to be acceptable to the council.

Assuming the questioner is in England. I think the minimum areas are different in Scotland.
Agreed, England and Wales - I'm not familiar with Scotland regulations

why don't you put up a few cow kennels? At £38 a big bale of straw, scraping out a bit of slurry looks better and better!
As I said goats are dry and have a shed for them its the cattle I need accommodation and asking re space,ventilation Tec thanks

Until a little man with a high viz jacket and a clipboard knocks on your door and says “I’ve come too inspect your slurry storage sir”. Then it gets technical and a battle of bull
as top who comes out on top. (It won’t be you, but you may have bluffed your way into enough time too come up with a feasible plan)

No infrastructure, building supply costs sky high, store cattle flying in value, feed price creeping up - I’d be cashing them in for the season and getting myself sorted for next year, I think.

You’d waste liner on burying an inspector?! That’s very considerate

Pretty sure that slurry storage is subject too a fair few rules and regs now. Not as simple as it once was
Just been speaking to our Civils and Flooding Consultant and he is being instructed on more and more slurry lagoons and farmyard drainage, apparently the EA are asking for more and more details.
I have just been having a debate on a planning forum in relation to a different case and the consensus is if the shipping container is just a shipping container, no alterations it is not classed as a building, it is a chattel and ancillary to the existing land use and wouldn't need planning.
The moment you modify it, such as adding a roof to link it to another, as you are suggesting you would be undertaking an engineering operation and creating a building therefore it would need planning permission.
It's movability is inconsequential.

That is true. I get the clear impression that it also depends on relationships and club memberships.

If it's wet ground is it a bit late in the year to do all this stuff or have you got hard standing? If you have give them a biggish area and put some straw bales around some of it. You can keep them in with electric fencing. Put some along your straw wall to stop them eating their way out. They don't need a roof.
Personally, I would sell them now and get sorted for next year or just keep them in the summer instead.
