What are the rules for the the construction of a garden shed?
Can I build one of brick and block rather than timber or must it be wood?

a shed is a shed. i'm of the mind a brick and morter one is better than wood as it will not rot. pluss its easy to attach stuff to the walls like shelves and put up hanging hooks &c. wood... well, they always need treating at some point and bits replacing when they rot.
though where i live, it'll make more sence for me to go for a metal shed due to local planning permision s**te.

I don't suppose many people care as long as you are not doing anything silly like a 100 foot tall shed really. Brian

Brick and block is fine, provided you comply with the PD rules and building regs exemptions on the Planning Portal site.

Brick and block is fine. The rules for citing it are slightly relaxed if its "substantially of non combustible materials". So you don't need to leave the 1m gap from the neighbours fence that everyone else ignores anyway!
