We have an old, large shed in our garden that eventually I will be removing and replacing with a smaller shed elsewhere, however in it's place I was hopeful of building an outbuilding made up of small utility room (to house a washing machine and tumble drier) and a summer house/man den. These rooms would not be accessible from the other and the building would not be attached to our house.
My hope would be to build at the very least the utility room out of brick (if not the whole thing) and of course would need basic plumbing to the waste drain, cold water feed in, and electricity.
I think I understand the basics; It will be within 2 metres of boundary wall so overall height would be no more than 2.5 metres and would only be a small footprint in comparison to the size of garden but is anyone able to advise on the sort of regulations/restrictions that would be in place? Would we need any sort of permission to do this? The electrics would be inspected and certified. Would the plumbing need to be inspected?
Any advice/tips comments welcome.
Thanks.
