My new shed is 5m wide, 6m long, and I will have to re-weld the steel

It's going to be 750mm from a boundary.


That's the more limiting bit - at 2m+ you can have a max height of 4m
with a pitched roof. ISTR it also needs to be of a "substantially non
combustible" construction when close to a boundary. (although that seems
to be a rule pretty much universally ignored with near enough every
wooden shed in the land hard up against a boundary.


Can't seem to find any reference to the 'combustible' bit on the planning
portal. But found this:

I'm planning a small shed (15m2) and it seems that from that discussion the
best bet, to say within regs, is to check with the local council.
