    Has anyone had to get planning permission to put a green house up??

    I know I need permission from the council understandably as I'm a council tennant so I gave them a ring yesterday to see who I need to wright to to get permission and was told that I may have to get planning permission to do so at the cost of £150:dh:

    I know there are different rules for houses ( under the council anyway) that mean my mum put hers up without even having to tell them at all.

    I'm not building an extention:help:which would be rather funny as I live upstairs:hehe: I have my own garden (nothing communal) and I wouldn't class it as a perminent structure as I'm just going to level off and plonk it on some bricks ( well noy litteraly) so am not sure if planning permission is really needed.

    What do you think?

    I'd just do it. In the extremely unlikely event that they tell you to take it down, you could either apply for planning permission retrospectively, or just dismantle it.

    I would be inclined to just put it up also. Have never heard of anyone I know having to apply for planning permission for a greenhouse.

    My mum just had a conservatory fitted and didnt have to apply either so am sure a greenhouse would have less regulations as its not a permanent fixture.

    It is possible you need planing permission if you have a listed building or are in a conservation area. Also if its something like those greenhouses at Kew then I suppose you might need permission (they are bigger than a house!) Otherwise there is no need for permission, perhaps they thought it was a lean-to type that might possibly be thought of as an extension?

    I advise you to get rid of any packaging yourself. Do not trust the bin men :wink:
