The official Shed Size is 8 feet x 6 feet, as this was the size of the sheds originally supplied on the site. However, this was raised at the last trustees meeting and it was noted that over the years permission has been granted for larger structures. Your proposed shed of roughly 10' x 6' 6", (we don't seem to have gone metric yet), is not excessive, but we are undertaking a review of what sheds are already on the site and what the revised rules should be. We are also looking at the state of some sheds that need replacement. Materials have normally been provided for gardeners to repair roofs, etc. and these are available now.
However, there are other considerations. With the increase of half plots, (and less), should plot-holders be asked to share, with the obvious problems, or should we supply, (or maybe allow), additional sheds. Also, if somebody replaces a shed, we would need a commitment that the replacement would remain on the site if the tenant leaves.
I know you asked a simple question, but the answer is rather more complex than we would like. This will come up again at the next Trust meeting and I hope you will have a more positive response then.
