Here is a link to an article which can be printed and downloaded.
The shop is 9' x 18' about 3 x 6 meter.
Some very nice space saving ideas.

This article was very much the start point to my own thinking about what I could do in my own 'to be' workshop. To be very pedantic 9' x 18' feet is actually closer to 2.75m x 5.5m, which means it is near as damn it 15m2, i.e. the limit for an outbuilding within a metre of a boundary without needing building reg's approval.
I think this all looks very smart and well thought out. I have gratefully taken on board the comments and feedback I have received on the thread I started on my workshop planning (as things stand I plan to build my 14.99m2 and buy tools sequentially, based on what looks most critical given the projects I plan to take on), but I can't shake a nagging thought that if this guy, the editor of a woodworking magazine who says "One of the best parts of working for this magazine is that I get to visit the best workshops in the world, and the good ideas I see are abundant." can 'have it all' in 15m2 (with the compromise of juggling machines on mobile bases and by lifting out of low storgae positions) then surely I can as well

Starting small and building up you will find that equilibrium of space vs machinery needs without spending too much cash that you might not get a good return on if you decide it's not working. Unless you're loaded then it doesn't matter!
