Driveway query
Is one allowed to construct a builders toilet as a temporary structure on the driveway (which is shared with the neighbour on a semidetached property) as a lean to structure visible from the street. The estimated life will be approx. 1year during a major renovation project.
One Answer
Temporary siting of a builder’s toilet is generally permitted development, meaning you don’t need to apply for planning permission. There can be situations where these rights are removed or restricted, so it would be a sensible precaution to inform the council that the toilet is a temporary structure needed for the duration of the renovation works.
