Hi all,

Where is this going to be installed? Have you bottomed out all the
Planning and Building regs issues?-
If it's in his (rear/side) garden, I don't think that there are any
issues
provided that he doesn't convert it into something that is intended to

slept in.-
There are quite a few, but I don't think most people take any notice.
Unless it's built of non-combustible materials, it must be at least
1 metre from the house and 1 metre from all the property boundaries.
PP required if total area of sheds and decking reaches 50% or more of
original garden size (or something like this).
Limits on height before requiring PP.
Limits on floor area before requiring BR.
Limits in conservation areas.
More I've forgotten.

That's pretty much as I understood it too. Although I dont think people
really pay attention to the 1 meter from boundary. In fact I think
pretty much everyone's sheds are likely up against the fence 
I plan on having a gap around it, Ideally I want it close to the
boundary so it'll be right at the 1 meter point, giving plenty of room
to get around it to do treatment.
I found a couble of photos (all-be-it a very tiny one) of the 'garden
room' offered by the local company I previously mentioned, the only
difference is that the one photoed has a double door but it was
displayed with a single (which I'd rather have). The single-door model
had a slightly larger window, and an additional window on the side.

It was offered with either 'standard cladding' or 'logleg cladding'.
Loglap perhaps?
Both images above have the logleg cladding, no idea what standard would
be. I assume some form of low-quality wood tho.
Feather edge or shiplap presumably...
What do you think? It looked like a pretty simple building, surely all
I'd have to do is effectively make the 4 wall frames, the floor base and
the roof frame and screw them together then board up the outside with
cladding, and then do all the damp proofing and other inside stuff.
Yup...
