What about distance from adjoing properties boundaries, if it is wood
construction over a certain size the minimum distance should be at
least x m ? Unless of course you have it treated with a flame
retardant.



Basically the rules are this:

Planning
~~~~~~

Greenhouses & Sheds - (and garages more than 5 metres from the house)
are permitted if they cover less than 50% and are less than 3m high or
4m, with a ridge roof.



Building Control
~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to be exempt the detached building must satisfy the following
criteria

No sleeping accommodation
Internal floor area must not exceed 30m2
More than 1m from any boundary or substantially non-combustible
Can be any distance from boundary if not exceeding 15m2 floor area
