Thread: crossed fingers and dripping tears - it's a crime

Being in a shire helps, and my neighbours did have some say, but apparently not enough to stop my shed, just comment on colour, etc.
it helps though that there are other sheds in the area of similar finished height, and even larger footprint.

I will start a thread and document the construction once ground is broken for the pad - until then it's simply awaiting a design for people to quote on, then full steam ahead with building approval applications.

If you got 4 meters approval without all the hassle, well done (Damn city of Bayswater & their planning dept).

Some local govt's are a lot harder to please than others. I erected an basically identical shed from the same supplier (Shed Makers in Malaga) for another guy over near the airport... he got approval in just days, from his local council, (Mine took 8 weeks). etc etc.

Having a good local govt to deal with is half the battle.
