Default Timber garages,planning restrictions?

Hi all,something I've toyed with for ages now but this is the space I'm planning on using.


Now,as you can see,it's pretty large,4.5m between the gates and I'd like to go back about the same,I'll then use this area to put the daily driver/s on.



Excuse the shoddy old Sierra!!

Two more photos to show that I'm not directly connected to next door,so no light problems.






Now,my questions are,as I live in a notoriously difficult area to get planning(gower peninsular),and funds being a but tight,I'm going the timber route,plus if I ever sell the house and the new owners don't like it,I can easily remove it.

The only light it will affect is my boys downstairs room but as he's 15 he likes being in the dark anyway,it really wouldn't make a lot of difference.

There's a solid concrete base and I won't particularly build it up too high but I'm just wondering if anyone on here has done this before and would I be in trouble if I didn't seek planning as I was always led to believe a timber structure is considered non-permanent?


Any advice greatly appreciated.
