I'm planning to build a garden shed / playhouse in my back garden. It will be 3.6 meters by 2.4 meters by 2.4 Meters (WxDxH)
It will not be visible from road and will not cast a shadow over any part of my neighbour's property. It will be constructed of timber and roofing felt, with exterior grade acrylic for the windows.
Will I need planning pemission?

Look up your council's web site and home in on the planning section. There you should get various guides to try and work this out yourself. The phrase you need to look for is "permitted development".
Individual councils sometimes have policies which are stricter than the general guidelines for the country your shed will be in, which is why you need to see what they have to say.
The planning department at your local council are best placed to answer that. Or you could look at
All I can say is that there is always news about some star or other having to remove a wendy house or somesuch that they have made for their kids.
These are usually right in the middle of their estates and not remotely visible or an eyesore. In fact they are usually stunning but upset the council.
You will have to ring them and ask.

Alternatively some councils have a "Do I need Planning Permission" enquiry form. This is free to submit and then you have a decision in black and white should anyone complain.
