You need a bigger shed. B-)

I agree, but the local council will not allow a larger shed on the
property without going through a full council meeting to obtain
planning approval, paying extra fees and all the nearest 5 neighbours
on each side agreeing. If we had gone for a smaller shed approval
would have been immediate. We went for 10% over or 180 square metres
instead of the supposed maximum of 165, which was the maximum
"oversize" permitted for "drones" discretion.

Just for your interest, this is it.
