Garden Sheds in Abergele

Garden sheds are an essential factor of any practical garden space. They provide storage for cumbersome garden tools, as well as for other tools. A larger sized shed may offer enough room for plant potting or a general workshop. Alternatively, a sizeable shed could be utilised as an inside seating area. Garden sheds are available in a large variety of sizes and can be specified to your precise needs, giving you total control over the amount and placement of windows, type, size and location of door, and style of roof. Garden sheds generally come in one of three materials. Wooden sheds are the classic design and can be integrated well into any garden creating a natural look, especially if the wood used for the shed is matched to encircling fences. Wooden sheds are still extremely popular, although they will require maintenance by retreating or staining the wood to preserve the lifespan of the shed. Garden sheds are also manufactured from metal, which is very tough and therefore great for storage of tools and other equipment. Metal sheds additionally require very little maintenance. The final material for garden sheds is plastic, which in modern examples is a lot more resilient than might be expected. When considering a garden shed, it's important to ensure that you select one which will fit in your garden space. Garden sheds will need to be sited on a flat area, and will need a base to be built as a foundation. This base could be produced from either concrete, paving, gravel or a floating wooden base, but will have to be the right size for your shed and capable of supporting the weight of your shed when loaded.

Abergele

Abergele is a community and modest market town. The meaning of the name Abergele can be comprehended by 'aber' being the Welsh word for estuary, and 'Gele' the name of the river which runs through the town. Gele is a colloquial form of gelau, which means spear, assumed to be characterising the action of the river traversing the land. It has in addition been suggested that this river is named because its waters sparkle brightly. The town is situated on the north coast of Wales in between the holiday resorts of Colwyn Bay and Rhyl, in Conwy County Borough. Its northern suburb of Pensarn is located on the Irish Sea coast and is famous for its beach, where it is insisted by some that a ghost ship has been sighted. Abergele and Pensarn railway stations provide services to both resorts. The town itself lies on the A55 road and is known for Gwrych Castle. The town is encircled by woodland covered hillsides, which contain caverns with rare lesser horseshoe bats. The tallest hill is Moelfre Isaf (1040 feet) to the south of the town. There are also magnificent views from Cefn-yr-Ogof, which measures 669 ft, Tower Hill, which is 587 feet, and Castell Cawr (known in the area as Tan-y-Gopa) which is 189 metres (620 ft). Castell Cawr is an Iron Age hillfort, and among several in the region. Dinorben hillfort to the east of town was ruined in the 1980s. As per the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of roughly 10577 people. Within this population, roughly 29% have a significant knowledge of Welsh. For all your home improvements, make sure to identify trustworthy professionals in Abergele to make certain of quality.

Tidy up all your tools and debris, clearing the area to make it safe, and you’re done!

Try to put your shed in open space, away from trees, bushes and other buildings. This will help to protect it from falling branches and sap. It will also mean that you can access all sides of the shed for repair and maintenance purposes. Make sure you take a look at garden shed planning rules before you pick a final spot for your shed.

Yes, your shed does need a base. This is to give it a solid, level foundation. Open soil will not help with the longevity of the shed itself or the contents within. The best materials to use to make your shed base are concrete, natural stone or wood.

Generally, you don’t need planning permission for a shed if you live in England or Wales. This applies whether it’s a wooden, metal, plastic or brick shed. However, there are a few conditions your shed will have to meet to not require planning permission:

The shed doesn’t cover more than 50% of the garden
It’s not in front of your house
The shed is single-storey with eaves no higher than 2.5m and the overall height is no taller than 4m for a dual-pitched roof, or 3m for any other type. If it’s located within 2 metres of your property’s boundary, it mustn't be more than 2.5m high
There’s no veranda or balcony
The floor area is no bigger than 15m² - up to 30m² may be covered under Permitted Development if other conditions are met
The shed is for domestic use only by those who live in the property and there’s no sleeping accommodation – that means you can’t run a business from the shed unless you apply for planning permission

Exceptions Of course, there are always exceptions:

If you live in a listed building, you’ll need Listed Building Consent before you can build a shed in your garden
If you live in a conservation area or similar, the maximum area of ground covered by outbuildings, pools and enclosures situated more than 20m from any wall of the house mustn’t exceed 10m² if they’re to be considered as a permitted development
If you own a piece of woodland, you must seek planning permission for any permanent structure
In Scotland, you’ll need planning permission if any part of the shed comes within 1m of a neighbouring property or is more than 2.5m high
In Northern Ireland, there are rules about how close your shed can be from a road that passes by the back of your house. It’s best to check for clarification

So if you live in a straightforward house in England or Wales, you shouldn’t need planning permission for your shed. If you’re in any doubt, make sure you check with your local planning office.
