Another issue I would like to address in a single post as several have mentioned it. Why would my proposed workshop devalue your house? I have been looking for a property with an existing workshop of this scale, they do exist, but are rare to come by and are sold for a HUGE premium...

As several people have mentioned this now. I am not going to be running a business I am not going to be doing any commercial activity I will rarely ever be making any noise and certainly not at a time that would annoy neighbours There will be no pollution / no burning / no smoke / no dust

I live in a low income area in a low income town. I am looking to move to another low income area in the same low income town. It is what it is, it's not offensive, I didn't say anyone is lesser than me, these are the people I live amongst, they are the same as me. You seem to be completely...

I used the measuring tool on google earth to get a rough idea of the real measurements. Estate agents seem to just guess

Thankyou for your suggestion, I have checked and there are no special conditions in this area

This is a perfectly sensible suggestion if I were to go ahead with what I proposed, it would certainly give more flexibility with the roof

A couple of people in the thread seemed to get genuinely angry by the very idea of such a workshop existing, but they never explained why, so I am no closer to understanding. Like I say, I am in a low income area so people are not concerned with keeping up appearances, so my current neighbours...

Thankyou, it's no problem at all, everyone is free to speak their mind as far as I am concerned

I don't think I am understanding things from a neighbour point of view. So far I have been lucky that when I have run my current projects past neighbours they have been fine, and I would personally not object to my neighbours doing whatever they want as long as it did not restrict access to my...

National Steel Buildings can apparently do so, and supplied with drawing and specs for building regs. I'll be honest I have not verified building reg requirements at this conceptual stage.

It is entirely hobby. I collect and restore large items I currently own all of the things that would fill a 3000sq ft workshop I have a little under that space currently over multiple buildings / sheds / garages It's always been a dream to have everything layed out properly in one purpose...

This move is hopefully to be the last one in my life, so adding value would be of no consideration to me. Renting a workshop is absolutely not a consideration (see above answer) and the cheapest commercial unit I can find of this size in an absolutely dog rough area near me would be £330k, which...

Yes, but with rent and business rates, then a second lot of utilities to pay for, it would cost more than a mortgage, plus I would have no way of retaining the rented premises once I retired, so would have to give everything up at some point

Why? I've never in my life considered objecting to my neighbours plans. It's none of my business what other people do with their land if it doesn't affect me

I have tried this, they are absolutely not willing to tell me whether it is vaguely possible or not without me submitting plans. As I don't own the house, I don't think I can justify the planning cost for speculation

Hi everyone, I require a very large home workshop. I have found a potential house with a 40x160ft rear garden (plus front garden) I would be wanting to build a very large workshop in the region of 30x100foot to the rear of the garden, which of course would require both planning and building...
