I've got no answers for you, but can assure you that by the end of the day you will have loads of sensible and viable suggestions.
Sounds like a great project, looking forward to photos.
Good luck.
PS. What are you going to do in it when it's finished?

I was going to suggest you might like to think about deleting Richardson Ln. (stop any nefarious people thinking about paying a visit) but Maps yielded nothing sensible so reckon you're safe !

I would actually get a basic design done by an architect or engineer for this. It's a big building for home use, with a fairly big span of 7 metres or so, rather a low pitch and quite a signifiant risk of heavy snow loading.
Are you happy your footings are substantial enough in the post locations?

At 13m x 7m a steel portal-frame starts becoming competitive, but if you want to do it in timber, you still can so long as you are OK with either a spine wall or a run of posts along the mid-line. Naturally you would expect an architect to say get your permissions sorted first...........so, get your permissions sorted first!! It shouldn't be too much of a struggle, given your situation.
Mike G wrote:Yeah, I left UKW. I was just checking as I comment on lots and lots of workshop builds, and sometimes confuse myself.
So what sort of superstructure are you thinking of?

AJB Temple wrote:That will surely change the footprint? If it requires planning (size) and regs, then foundation design will need to be compliant. It doesn't take long to do a simple application. It's winter and not a great time for doing groundworks. Why not get the planning done and just do everything once. Cheaper in the end.
