Our back green(something of a misnomer as it was concreted over some time in the middle of the 20th century) is a right state and the other owners are finally making noises about getting it sorted, hopefully I can persuade them putting in a shed with 2 bike spaces per-flat will add some value to their properties(assuming the other conservation area planning &lt;Rule 2&gt; doesn't sink the whole project). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20675#post-353401 Wed, 04 Aug 2021 12:04:24 +0000 Rosie 353401@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Snowy</p> <p>There is an update in red on the bike storage in gardens page.</p> <p><a href="http://www.spokes.org.uk/documents/advice/bike-storage-gardens/" rel="nofollow">http://www.spokes.org.uk/documents/advice/bike-storage-gardens/</a></p> <p>We have to update the factsheet though and we should publicise it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20675#post-353389 Wed, 04 Aug 2021 08:42:01 +0000 Morningsider 353389@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Yodhrin - yes, new <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ssi/2020/437/article/9/made">permitted development Class 9J</a> allows each tenement to install a bike shed within its "rear curtilage" (back green). This applies in conservation areas, but not listed buildings or within a world heritage site. This change came into force on 1 April 2021. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20675#post-353387 Wed, 04 Aug 2021 00:49:25 +0000 Yodhrin 353387@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmm, so if I'm understanding that right, a traditional tenement block layout - a small shared drying green for each stair, sometimes also a large communal green in the middle of them all - could allow each stair to put up a shared bike storage structure in their own bits without restriction(beyond the usual planning constraints for permitted development)? What about when such blocks are located within a conservation area, do they follow the rules for flats or for "houses in a conservation area" back gardens? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20675#post-353385 Tue, 03 Aug 2021 23:38:10 +0000 Snowy 353385@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Speculatively, a while beforehand, though? Might be worth Spokes doing an update detailing what was finally implemented - I know many people are still in the dark (as was I until I ran across it today). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20675#post-353380 Tue, 03 Aug 2021 19:28:44 +0000 Rosie 353380@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Spokes has covered this:-<br /> <a href="http://www.spokes.org.uk/2020/10/bike-sheds-breakthrough/" rel="nofollow">http://www.spokes.org.uk/2020/10/bike-sheds-breakthrough/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20675#post-353376 Tue, 03 Aug 2021 18:30:15 +0000 Snowy 353376@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I missed this - improvements to planning rules around bike sheds.
