**STOP PRESS**
 

The Chairman and the National Secretary, NSALG have argued for some 20 years that planning permission for sheds, greenhouses and poly-tunnels on allotment sites is NOT required.
 
The Legal Consultant has endorsed this argument, citing the High Court Case
 
CROWBOROUGH PARISH COUNCIL - v - SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND WEALDEN DISTRICT COUNCIL
 
[1980] Property & Compensation Reports, 229, High Court (Queen’s Bench)
 
as authority
 

NSALG sought Counsel’s Opinion on this issue, and is delighted to say that Counsel has confirmed the opinion of the Secretary and Chairman; and confirmed the opinion of the Legal Consultant that the Crowborough case is authority for the premiss:

 

Planning Permission is NOT required for sheds, and/or greenhouses on an allotment plot!  Please note: a shed or greenhouse over the standard size of 8 x 6 (available from most garden and DIY centres) that require foundations or are connected to services, might be construed as a permanent structure.
