I cannot see the vast swathes of wooden bin stores and small shed like structures that house bikes that are all over col de waltham forest have planning permission and I doubt the council would give a shit. I guess if you wanna do things properly you pay the council their 240 quid but it does sound like an utter con.
I'd have no hesitation in just plonking it down there as long as it would have been granted permission anyway and you know your neighbours won't grass you up.
In other news today I found out my son got into the local primary school 2 roads away. I thought as we moved on 29th march and the deadline for an in time application was February that we would have been stuffed as the school is outstanding and over subscribed. So I am absolutely dumbfounded he got offered a place today. Which I accepted within 2 minutes of receiving the email in case it was a mistake.

I agree entirely. I've got a wooden bin store built in front of my house which I suppose technically would require planning permission, and at the side of the house (in front of the side 'frontage') there's my 12 foot long wooden shed (AKA The Bicycle Palace) which I suppose should have planning permission too, despite being behind an existing 6 foot high wall. So far the local authority have not given even the slightest bit of a shit about them. However, some local authorities seem to be rather pernitckety about bike sheds and other similar structures, so there's always a risk.
I'm about to replace The Bicycle Palace with a brick rather than wood structure, tied into the existing 6 foot wall, for which I will be applying for planning permission. Even though I strongly suspect that if I just went ahead and built it, no-one would give a damn.

That’s great! Congratulations!
Regarding bike shed, I think I will go with it and make sure is within current regulations. I don’t see us moving anytime soon and if we had to, it could be easily disassembled, retrospectively granted permission or insured with indemnity. Thanks everyone!

Anything built in front of the frontage of the house - between the line of the front wall of the house and the road - can't be done under permitted development and requires planning permission. Which is annoying, since my house is on a corner and hence has two frontages.
