Bikes and Toys

To keep the clutter organized, consider using a metal shed for the bikes and toys your children use. This is a great way to keep all of their outdoor toys in one area where they can easily access it when they want to. Over the winter months, you can store things like sandboxes, water tables, kid’s tables and chairs, as well as any other outdoor toys they have within a dry space. This can help to minimize wear and tear on these items. When it comes to bike storage, storage sheds work well in that way as well. You can use wall hooks to help keep them off the ground and organized or just allow the kids to store them propped against the wall. This allows them to remain accessible but out of the way.

Patio Furniture and Outdoor Décor

Depending on the size of the shed purchased, it is also possible to use this space to store all of your patio furniture and outdoor décor. All of the cushions you want to protect through the winter months, your deck furniture, and even the grills you don't use during the winter months can easily be placed in this area. You can also place items like outdoor signs, fixtures, and flags that you do not want to be damaged during the winter months in this space. It’s a great place for Christmas decorations during the summer months, too.

Pool Chemicals

It’s a good idea to keep all of your pool chemicals away from the pool and locked up so that your children remain safe. Keep them dry and out of the way of the kids and pets by placing them into a locked shed. You can also store all of your pool accessories, including your pool filters, skimmers, floaties, and even the pump and motor during the winter months in this space. It keeps them protected and out of the way.

Tools

For those that need to have tools for everything from repairs to handling specific tasks in your home, a storage shed works well. It can help you to get just about everything managed and organized, from toolboxes filled with items to your power tools. You will want to choose a solution that is more watertight for the storage of power tools, though. With good shed organization, you can store many of the necessary tools in your shed.

Do I need permission to convert my garage into a room?

Planning permission is not usually required to convert your garage into additional living space for your home, providing the work is internal and does not involve enlarging the building.

hastings.gov.uk - Do I need planning permission to convert my garage?

Planning permission is not usually required to convert your garage into additional living space for your home, providing the work is internal and does not involve enlarging the building. However, sometimes permitted development rights have been removed by condition which may prevent a garage from being able to be converted without planning permission. This is often the case if your property is located in a housing estate. A condition attached to a planning permission may also require that the garage remain as a parking space. In such instances you will need to apply for permission to vary or remove the condition.

What to do if permitted development rights have been taken away

In cases where permitted development rights have been taken away by a condition attached to a previous planning permission, you will need to submit a planning application to vary or remove that condition. Application forms and fees can be found on the Planning Portal website. You can also download forms from the Planning Portal website. See Further guidance on making an application and information needed to register an application. With such applications, the Council may need to consider, amongst other things, whether the loss of the parking space within the garage would have a harmful impact upon highway safety.

Listed Buildings

Where work is proposed to a listed building, listed building consent may be required. Find out if your property is a listed building. If you wish to know if your property has had its 'permitted development' rights for garage conversions removed you can email us. See fee for this service.
