Considerations before making your alteration

  • You will be responsible for the maintenance of the shed for the duration of your tenancy. This means you will need to keep it in good condition and repair any damage that occurs. We may ask you to remove it and return the area to its original condition if/when you end your tenancy with us
  • Outbuildings are typically considered to be permitted development, (not requiring an application for planning permission) providing all the conditions are met.

Important note: The permitted development allowances described here apply to houses only -flats, maisonettes and other buildings are excluded. Please check with your local planning authority whether permitted development rights apply. Other consent may be required if your house is listed or in a designated area.
