To build a workshop in our garden using a concrete base with dwarf brick wall and breeze block construction, clad with wooden timber.

Pan tiled roof. 6 metres wide by 4 metres deep. 2.40m to height of eaves. 1.60m from eaves to roof line. All measurements can be seen from drawing. We would like to construct the workshop on the edge of our boundary line with 'Well Cottage' and up to our hedge at the back of our property. Please note we have set the proposed workshop far enough back to not shade 'Well Cottage' the workshop finishes behind the line of the property. There is no car vehicle access to this workshop. 'Well Cottage' currently has a brick building construction just inside their boundary as can be seen from Ordnance Survey Map attached, with the intention of submitting future planning to construct as similar design to ourselves in its place.
