Normally you'd need planning permission, yes, although some local authorities have a policy of allowing them without. If it blocked light to a basement flat then there may well be issues of interference with a right of light, yep. Rights of lights are an exception to the general rule that lessees can't acquire prescriptive easements against the lessor.

Bike/ bin stores in front of houses, I see these around, more so in Bristol, but aren't they forbidden under 'outhouse' permitted planning laws?
I guess you'd need proper planning permission right? In which case I'm likely to fall foul of 'right to light' in a Victorian terrace.
