I am just having words with Planning because they told me it was ok to build my sheds and now they are querying (6 months later), whether they actually comply. 
Anyone had any trouble with putting sheds in gardens for Guinea pigs, and do we have a any guidelines for what you can and cant do with a Shed.
My understanding was
1. More than 5 metres from house
2. Less that 4 metres high at apex (3 metres if flat)
3. Doesnt cover more that 50% of garden
4. Not used for Pidgeon loft.
Mine falls well into the guidelines but I am just wondering if anyone else has had any "shed drama's".

The rules down here on Jersey are far more strict and I managed to get a whole spa chalet built to house mine in, so I'm surprised they're making any sort of fuss about building a shed up there. 
Have you looked at the website for your local area? Or called the council for some info on local planning laws? If you have the paper in your hand with the rules stated clearly, then you've got something to wave at them if they keep being difficult.
