Planning permission

[TheOtherHalf]

Now allowing villages to build own small housing estates without planning permission. This is to increase the population of the village to support the services there.
Does this mean you can now build a shed or wendy house in your garden without the council clamping down on you as they have done ridiculously in the past ?

[buildersmate]

No.

[TheOtherHalf]

Oh ? Whys that then buildersmate ?

[jake-the-peg]

Because there has to be a local vote with 80-90% agreement

[TheOtherHalf]

80-90% agreement with who, my neighbours ? Surely the neighbours involved with these ridiculous clamps by councils on a wendy house or treehouse in a garden wouldnt have objected. Dont you think it was just the council being powercrazy ?
They make a lot of mistakes about planning for houses on floodplains etc so going against something as small as this seems stupid to me.

Will your wendy house or shed be of significant benefit to the village in which it is to be constructed ?
Will it provide accommodation for 'young married locals' or 'local workers' ?

[jake-the-peg]

No with the village

This isn't about planning permission for wendy houses this is about building small developments of affordable housing for local people in rural communities.

Contrary to some of the rot spoken you can already build sheds etc. without planning permission as long as they fulfill certain criteria:
