Wondering if anyone has built without getting planning permission first? what is the consequences of this?
Round here they'll make you take it down or apply for retrospective planning.
I built mine on wooden skids. They clearly aren't going anywhere but this was deemed acceptable. My neighbour has two stables and a large double height barn, again on skids which was inspected and deemed ok.

Why not just apply for permission? If you don't think it would be approved then there is probably a reason for that.
In Scotland the laws are somewhat easier than in England-depending on whether they fall within the curtilage of your home, number of stables etc. If you are having them built, the supplier should be able to advise you.
We were planning on doing as much of the work ourselves, it is being built in the garden but council are saying that doesn't matter
Aren't you allowed within the curtilage of a house to build without PP? It's a very complex area, you might need to check with an expert
That is what I thought but for some reason they don't seem to agree unsure where I would get advise on what actually qualifies as the curtilage
Wanting to build stables without planning permission & trying to think of ways to do it so you won't need it is a dangerous way to go. It may well cost you to go to planning but just to build & hope isn't the way. The council may not catch you now but if they find out later, possibly a fall out with a neighbour & them getting a call will end up costing you a lot more than obtaining permission. Arrange an appointment to see a planning office & ask for some advice. They will tell you if you stand any chance or not. They will also tell you what is expected on any plans & what to avoid. That meeting should cost you nothing but at least you will know how to approach the planning dept & if you would get the consent.
My sister tried it, she's in Hants and as you say council made her pull them down.
What seems to work around this area, is join the Parish Council become a Councillor either just before you apply for planning or just after, when you get planning resign from Parish Council due to work commitments, health or lack of time to give it your all and then crack on building what you asked for. I'm amazed how often this happens....... when I was speaking to a farrier who is out of my area about planning he also said straight away people join the Parish Council as it works in his area too ........... shock, horror
Netpave and rubber mats as a base and then stables on skids
No idea why more people don't use this
Firstly, this business of buildings "within the curtilage" - it applies to things like sheds and gazebos in your garden for the "enhancement and enjoyments thereof" - it's not a range of stables.

Yes it is.
In Cheshire, a friend of mine was told that she did not need planning consent to erect two stables and put a full size arena in 75% of her garden. She did that with no issues.
