The back wall is about 18” from my neighbours fence
Thelma (the neighbough) is unlikely to care. The rear wall of the workshop is 2m and can just be seen from her side over the top of the fence. I want to put up the guttering by accessing from her garden and anticipate no problems.

That's obviously an issue, but it's only an issue if it comes to the attention of Building Control. Are you planning any alterations at your house? I find it more than a little frustrating that manufacturers/ installers don't flag up these issues. They know the rules, and it shouldn't be up to you, Jim, or any other layperson.
If you've got a 5 foot gap to the house, could you shove the shed bodily 550mm away from the fence, to leave a 1 metre gap?

In normal circumstances I would do exactly that,but
I rely on my sons at the moment because I am restricted in what I can do following a bleed in the back of my eye ball last October.
Also as I said, I need to be careful with money until the house sale is complete.

I wonder if the approach could be to cover up with tarps for now whilst health and finance issues improve and then put EPDM later when the weather is far more suitable for such a job.
