Planning for replacement of existing shed

Currently have a tumble down old partial stone building, looking to replace part of this with a steel frame building. Will still be using the exsisting wall on one side and will be adjoining the house on one gable, the other side and gable will be clad to the floor in box profile. The footprint will be smaller than the exsisting (by about 10ft on the length but the same width) and the ridge height will be slightly less.

Do I need planning for this?

The use will be general storage.

In theory, no. as long as you are not within 25m of the road, the house is yours (there may be building regs on that bit) and no listed properties nearby.

What it will come down to is whether anyone can see it from the road or public footpath.

Planning departments will usually charge (ours charges £50) for a ruling about whether planning is needed.

You would not commit a criminal offence by going ahead but the planning department can slap a stop notice on (violation of that is a criminal offence) or go for retrospective once building is complete and worst case demand demolition.

Write to your local council informing them of your intentions of re roofing your shed as it is beyond repair, leave it 4 weeks and send them a further letter notifying them that under further investigation the walls need replacing. They won't blink but if you don't tell then they can get snotty!
