Watch this space for an update re my latest plans to show what I can achieve !!!!
I have various materials* collected via Freecycle but my council gave no permission for a decent-sized shed in my backyard, let alone a lean-to :( I needed a workshop/utility space plus somewhere for plant propagation.
It took about 11 months to get permission for a very small shed for my garden tools. I was told my plans to use recycled materials were not suitable neither was the use of student help!! My small shed was made by cutting down a larger secondhand one and not constructed by a 'carpenter'!!

I just need an 8 x 4 roadworthy trailer !!! My car is a golf estate workhorse.

Surely we should all be using resources more carefully but someone who tries to do things in a sustainable way unfortunately encounters a lot of barriers... including being labelled a 'hoarder' :(
Councils are only interested in ticking boxes and making the public 'compliant' !
