Hi, does anyone have any experience of NWLeicestershire council and their reaction to mobile shelters? I am having great difficulty getting planning permission as i'm in a flood zone (although never flooded!) so thought i'd put up a mobile shelter in the interim. The council are very very non commital as to whether i'd need planning permission or not. has anyone had any experience with them and able to offer me any advice as I know different councils react in different ways.

thanks
 
As long as it is really mobile ie on skids and no hardsting put down it is ok.
My neighbours have put up six "sheds" on their land which I complained about.
I was told that they can totally fill their orchard with "sheds" as long as they are no more than 6ft high and not on any hardstanding.
This was sevenoaks council who are incredibly difficult!
Can sneeze round here without permission!!
 
Thanks, I thought the same but when I asked the planning guy he was pretty sure i'd need planning, I told him there was case study and precedent to say no you don't if it's truly mobile and the ground has not been prepared in any way which made him pause but I've been badly bitten. I had pre planning advice before buying my place and they said i'd be unlikely to have problems getting permission for stables but it turns out the environment agency wants a 100 year flood risk assessment done for timber sheds at a cost of 5K!

If anyone out there has managed to get a mobile shelter approved by NWLeicester council I think it'd help me if I can get advice from them.
 
I think you should be OK with a mobile shelter but they may ask you to move it a couple of times a year. The mobile field shelter supplier may be able to offer you advice.

Good luck, pp is a nightmare!
 
Go to this site http://www.redmire.co.uk/ and scroll down until on the left you can click on mobile field shelters.
then on the new page at the top is link about an appeal decision which you may find helpful.

The other thing is to look at the 'Local Development Framework policies' for NW Leics and see what they say - should be online on council web site.
