Hi all,

I have just had the neighbour who live's at the house behind my house up in my face regarding my shed, it's at the end of my garden and is 15" away from the side wall of his house, Does anyone know what the minimum distance that is required for a shed near the neighbours wall?

Thanks
 
I always thought that as long as its not attached and it not blocking windows etc if would be fine :/

Apparently it has to be at least 30 cm's from the property boundry but check with your local council first ;)

Whats his complaint?

Sheds dont need planning permission so as long as you have not attached it to "his" fence or something stupid, tell him to **** off and not to come shouting the odds again or you will knock his teeth out with a hammer*.
etc etc etc.

I removed the keyboard bit because you should do just exactly which is outlined in my learned friends post.
 
Sounds like hes trying to intimidate you into doing whatever he wishes

tell him to **** off
 
To be fair, and to keep the overall neighbourhood as one. I feel you should take it down.

and then put up one twice the size - and tell him to **** off.
 
If it's not on his property, attached to his property, or causing him any real problems then I'd tell him to go swivel tbh.
 
Print this thread off, show him, then tell him to ****ing jog on.














Don't say it's a Computer Nerd forum :/
 
Thanks for the reply's guys, I basically told him to **** off when he was first being irate with me but then he calmed down and then he appologised, The shed is not attached to his house at all and it is a wooden structure, Im probably still going to check with the council but im sure it won't be a problem, I didnt even put the shed up it was done by the previous occupants and the neighbour should have discussed it with them.

When i asked him why he needed access to the side of his house he said "so i can keep a check on my bricks and pointing" i found this pretty funny.

I agree with Welshy on the first part, about if it's not his land he shouldn't be complaining..... But if it's not yours either, what right do you have placing your shed there?
 
Its amazing what people will complain about after moving into a property.
My folks back garden is basically a small piece of woodland, and backs onto what was once a farmers field. Like most of the South-East, the field has gone to be replaced with 'executive' housing, and now the folks get constant complaints about acorns dropping on the new residents sheds and keeping them awake at night, leaves dropping on their lawns etc. How these people failed to see damn great oak trees backing onto these newly constructed properties gardens when they bought them is beyond me.....
 
The best advice I can give is to get this sorted, calmly, in writing now. Some very good friends of ours allowed a petty problem with a neighbour to simmer over the years and it all went legal and ended up costing them thousands in legal fees.

So let me get this straight - you have a shed on your property and he is moaning?

I don't understand it either, I normally want to make sure i get on well with the neighbours but think this guy is being petty, He wrote to the council when the previous occupier built the shed and they did not carry anything on and now he is trying it with me.
