Any planning experts? Specifically outbuildings.

As far as I am aware, raised platforms and decking are now permitted development and he would not require planning permission, so you may find he puts it in and there is nothing that can be done about it anymore.. Bit of a blow if he is aware of the recent changes to the PD regs..

Every time he and his family appear on the decking walk around the garden naked. He'll soon give up!

I don't know, have you met Steve?

You're right Dave, I am particularly attractive

I have to agree, I bet there is a load of decking with no railings on order - purely decorative of course.

He'll have to do something to cover up the ugly flat felt roof and I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was the outcome.

I have a chuckle to myself when I think about the time he told me "Nut, I dinnae need plannin', d'ye think I'd be stupit enough tae build aw that if ah wisnae allowed tae dae it? It'd look f*ckin' stupit wi' nae deckin on the top"

I would get that on a 12 ft placard and put it in the garden for the summer months Obviously not in a way that might obscure his view of your garden, or anything
