I can see what they mean about visual clutter. But bikes are here to stay, so there has to be a way to make these things work.
You shouldn’t be allowed to put up something with permission. But the reason behind not allowing it is ridiculous. The bike shed is no bigger than majority of cars.
Totally ridiculous. Get a banjaxed old rusted van and put the bikes in that. Will look 10 times worse but the city council won’t mind provided it’s a car of some sort.
Should have put a caravan up on blocks and no one would dare say a word to them
Not gonna lie, it does look awful, you can see it is higher than a car the other side of the wall, which considering the slope of the road is significant.
The family blocked off their access to the back garden by building on the extension, so only have themselves to blame on that one. Moving the box to the front of the garden, near the trees in the right of the picture would be a lot less visually obtrusive for the neighbours.
Does something that size actually need planning permission?
It’s not the prettiest of designers but no way it should have been denied. Definitely agree with others who have suggested getting a rusty old van and putting it there. Would serve the idiot who objected right.
If this had wheels underneath it, would it be allowed?
Just jack it up put some wheels on it and say it’s a caravan.
