shed in communal garden

Who can own a shed in a communal garden

[Robin]

In brief, anyone if it is not a "fixture" - a technical term that earns lawyers lots of money but, v. broadly, it ain't a fixture if it could be moved without digging up foundations or the like.

I suspect we need a lot more background.

It probably doesn't matter since it will be burned, burgled or vandalised.

[Andrew Mawson]

A Commune perhaps :)

anyone, but do they have permission to obstruct part of the communal area by placing it there?

Strictly speaking do not all those who share the garden have right of access to the shed?

[Robin]

You might do better to ask again in uk.legal.moderated - I cannot cross-post there.

I say that because:

a. right of access to (I assume you mean to enter the shed, not just admire its exterior) is not the same as ownership of.

b. it all depends on, umm, who has what rights: AFAIK the precise arrangements for "communal gardens" vary even among London's traditional squares; and

c. I think you'd do better to tell us what this is about - for example: who wants to (or has) put a shed? in what communal garden? where ('cos Scotland is different)? who owns the garden? who else has what rights to use it?

All your shed are belong to us.

[Brian Reay]

There are probably (almost) as many answers as there are communal gardens- ie the rules will vary depending on who wrote / agreed them, the nature of the communal garden (shared between 2 tenants in a pair of flats or a much larger garden shared by many families in a block for example).

Wot about UK sheds.
