Brick Kennels I've built

Do you need planning permission for something like that?

Doubt it as long as it’s below 1 storey and can be taken down, just best not to say lol

Yeah I thought that..I had new dog pens built a couple of years ago and was a bit worried about what I could and couldn't do size wise so built it 3 ft high blocks and the rest wood just in case.

I think it comes under a permitted building

Wood lined is best as wood is a natural insulator and holds a constant temp all year where as bare brick or block will feel cold in winter and after a days graft heat is important too. 

I'm lining it with 50 mm kingspam also I will have heat lamps

Nice job mate, is the four walls all brick?

Or is it joined to existing wall, what have you used for roof?

Have you any pics of inside, looks real good with red brick mate.

All 4 walls are brick 

The roof is steel coated sheets 

I got all the bricks given off a job came out of a chimney breast I've always liked the old common brick 

The sleeping area are boxes around 4x3 which will be lined with kingspam

Then they will have heat lamps

The rest of the shed will have a chest freezer for the dog meat

Wasn’t criticising mate just stating the benefits of wood, equally they’re easily chewed by dogs also lol, your kennels look grand

That would depend on local bylaws , travel a mile down the road from where I used to live in England and you needed planning permission for anything bigger than a 6x6 wooden shed .. where I live now in NI you can build a garage without planning permission or building control involved as long as it doesn’t cover a certain m2 and it’s no closer than 3 metres to any main drain/sewage pipes

Yeah no worries pal ,the breeze block boxes will have plywood lift up lids, with mesh underneath for when the heat lamp needs to be on
