Building a Breeze Block Shed - help/advice

[zimplistic 10]

Hi all,

 

I am wanting a few pointers on building a 5m x 2.5m x 3m outdoor shed

 

I would like to build it on my back garden,

 

How deep would the concrete base need to be?

 

I would like it to be completely weatherproof/watertight

 

It is 15m away from my house, would I need planning permission/build permission for this size?

 

I don't mind digging,

 

Has anyone built anything similar - if so, what did it cost?

 

I appreciate any constructive help toward this, thankyou.

You need planning permission

Also the council may not like the idea of B/Blk, unless your thinking of a tyrolean/render

finish.

lol - I'll just not bother.

 

Anyone with any 'moving forward' comments rather than 'don't do it' type

just had something similer built base alone cost me about 800 quid as its 12 inch deep and reinforced then blocks cost me 300 quid and roof 250 quid and two roller shutters doors at 500 quid each and then about another 200 quid for bits and bobs so gives you an idea what sort of price you,re looking at

Thankyou very much,

 

That's the kind of response I was looking for

if you ,ve got loads of soil to move ring skip companies up ask for price on a skip then when they have told you price ask for a discount as you,re digging a garden out i did and got some money knocked off price of skip .

also all prices i,ve quoted above there was no labour as me and brother did all work ourselves so you might have to budget for trades people etc .

I built a timber building 7m x 3m for someone, had a bit of an argument with council they thought it needed planning permission, when it didn’t. If you are not building any closer to the road it should fall within permitted development. The council did come round to my way of thinking eventually.

You could also plant climbers round the outside to blend it in with the garden.

Thanks for that,

 

Did you 'ask' the council first?

 

Or did you build it, then a few month later they came knocking?

 

Thanks

She was a council tenant so had to ask, but if you are an owner and it falls within permitted development you can just build it. You can ring the council and ask for advice without telling them who you are.
