There\u0027s no maximum shed floor area under permitted development, but at 128 sq ft a 16x8 is one of our larger sheds, so on a typical plot that 50% figure is the one to check. The other conditions aren\u0027t size-related \u2014 the shed must sit behind the front of your house and stay within the height limits, including the 2.5m maximum if it\u0027s within 2 metres of a boundary.

You can\u0027t simply stand a shed this large on grass or bare soil: an uneven or soft base lets the long walls twist and the doors drop out of alignment over time.
