I own and live in a leasehold flat. I’m looking at getting a new motorbike and although I can use bike covers and stuff but I would like something more substantial to protect it. Between the building my flat is a part of and the building next door is a section of land which is gated off at one end and fenced off from the street at the other. Looking at the land registry documents I have it looks like this land is part of the freehold for the building my flat is a part of and that it was once an access path that has been given up as access. Currently the land is becoming over grown and isn’t used for anything and I would like to erect a temporary metal shed (such as an Asgard shed) on this land and generally give the land some TLC and maintenance to make it look somewhat nicer. I also live in a conservation area so I understand I would need to consult the local planning department anyway but how and who would I go about asking for permission to use this land for this purpose?

When you contact the freeholder ask if you can have a license to use the land and locate a small bike storage shed on it, That may be something that can be settled quite quickly if you agree to pays a small sum of money for a licence.
Asking that this land be added to an existing Lease agreement is probably more costly and not likely to be well received.
The previous responder also puts forward a possible alternative. " just do it and take the risk" especially if this type of shed can easily be moved.

Not answering your question, but just to say I have 2 Asgard sheds and also advised purchase of one for a local sports club. They are great sheds. They go together easily, they are very secure, and they can be taken down, moved and rebuilt in an hour (at least the cycle sheds can).
So if you do decide to site a shed - Good choice to go for.

Reply to Sound testing in renovated flatsby ash72For renovating an existing building testing is not required, but if you plan on managing the properties afterwards, it is a good idea to have sound proofing as will avoid issues later when the T's move in.

Reply to Sound testing in renovated flatsby ormeydThank you both for your responses. I've had a response from building control this morning to say that only the new construction needs to be tested which is certainly better than the whole building.
Next steps is to find somebody reasonably priced to do this. From previous forum posts I've...-

Reply to Sound testing in renovated flatsby TipperWhilst I can't answer your question I can say that any new dwellings created from an old building need sound insulation between dwellings to meet the building regs. The sound insulation has to be applied between dwellings whether they are side by side or one above the other.
We created three flats,...-

Reply to Sound testing in renovated flatsWhen you say renovate. Did those works include sound proofing?. Did your builder put in sound proofing? Did he do it to all the flats or just the new corridors. Don't waste money on sound testing, if your builder has not done any sound proofing work. It will fail on the tests. Then you will have to...
