Well earlier today, i heard from a friend down south that someone had made a concrete base to build a "hut" so a friend could come and stay every weekend. They would leave their backdoor open so the friend could use the batjhroom in the night. |

Pretty sure you are right Florence, but you don't, I believe need planning permission for a shed/hut call it be any name, under a certain (not sure of the figure) size. So maybe somebody camping out in a shed would go unnoticed until a neighbour complains. But let's hope nobody realises that their house is unsecured all night. However if somebody checks and the 'hut' has a bed in it and other things to make it look like living accommodation that would probably be a different story. It will be pretty cold in the winter. And it is the paying of 'rent' that would cause trouble for the housing association/council tenant I think. |

I here are would imagine the HA have far bigger fish to fry and there are many tenants, I know a few, who have a log cabin in the garden which one or two of the children sleep in. |

My sister (after requesting planning permission, which she didn't need) put a summer house in her garden, and her neighbour - with at least 2 sheds bigger than the summerhouse, reported her to the Council for running a bed & breakfast from it! :-D :-D |

Wouldn't that be shed and breakfast? |

Oh for goodness sake why can't people just mind their own business. Only if it was a danger to neighbours or me would cause me to report to the council. |

Because they have no other power or importance in their lives. |

I don't think we were reported but I do think one of the council inspectors spotted a tree of ours encroaching onto public space (footpath, but above head height) too much and we were sent a letter about it. |

Each to their own I guess.I just don't understand why you would sleep in a hut when you have a flat to live in! Camping out in your garden with kids in summer is fine but a small hut that is cold is something else.Charging rent though is another matter. |

I have to agree with you, Florence! |
