I am hoping to build a garden office. The only problem is that
planning permission is required where the office "would be nearer to
any highway than the nearest part of the original house (unless there
is 20m between the building and the highway)" ie where the office is
positioned between the house and the highway and the office is within
20m of the highway.

The problem is that there is a footpath that runs behind the house.
The footpath is less than 20m from the proposed site for the office
and so it seems to me that I would need planning permission.

Am I right?

An office in the garden - i.e. a small, normally detached building
usually used as a home office.

It's an office, right? Which is in your garden, right? Hence the name
"office garden".

Or even 'garden office'

Surely an office garden is a garden in, or used for, an office.

Whereas a garden office is an office used in, or by, a garden..

A site office is where you plan the work and take tea breaks.
So a garden office must be where you plan the garden and take tea breaks.

I'm just about to build one for my daughter to use...
I am thinking about gluing polystyrene sheet between two sheets of WBP to
make the walls and floor (DIY SIPS).
Anyone done similar?
Which glue is best?

PVA works, but water based contact is better.

It's sound like it's at the back of the house, the average footpath
user probably doesn't have a clue what it is (it's a gerden shed to
them) or what the planning rules are, just build it.

That is a Potting Shed which in my area does not need Planning Permission.

Indeed. Build it now before John Prescott's lot start using
satellites to spot new bits and so increase the poll tax.

Indeed and ISTR that John Prescott's lot were discussing things with
the sellers of such software.

John Prescott no longer has ministerial responsibilities.
Poll Tax is long gone and had nothing to do with buildings.

Hasn't had for some time. However, his lot are still doing the same
sort of things in different organisations.

Poll Tax is long gone

But not forgotten.

and had nothing to do with buildings.

It was a charge on adults living in a home.

Did you know that (at least) one council is surveying their region for building
heat loss (infra red) by aerial photography?

IANAL but I don't think a "footpath" counts as a "highway".

I too ANAL but if the public can use it 24hrs/day, it's a highway. I had a
rear footpath through a churchyard only classed as not a highway as the
churchyard gates were locked at night.

Sounds more like it wasn't actually a public right of way anyway,
otherwise you would be done for obstructing it by locking the gates.

So if you are on holiday when they do it, and your house is unheated
it will get a good score - sounds about par for the course!
