How high can a wooden construction be in a back garden without planning permission?

I want to build a wooden lean-to against my back wall but don’t want to go through planning permission. I’ve heard about a 3 meter limit but would like to know for sure. (Building in the UK)

You definitely need to check with your local authorities for your specific location. You say “against my back wall” which I suspect will not be allowed. If you mean the house, it might be considered a fire hazard. If you mean the fence, there is probably a set-back requirement. In our area, if set-back is met and the square footage is met, there is no specific height requirement (my neighbors built an ugly “storage shed” 20 feet high after I bought this house, totally blocking the sunset view I had. It has never been painted and seems to be used primarily for children to throw things out of the window on the second floor into their own yard and sometimes mine. They did not need a permit for it; I checked when it started going up.

Depending on what the lean-to is for, if you cannot do it as originally planned, you might put up an interior chain-link fence and later cover it with a removable but secure cover. That is not technically a building, especially if you make it like a dog kennel and it has no floor. For some weather-proofing, add slats to the chain link and hang heavy mill plastic on the inside; not a building, but servicable for many things.

Good luck.

Garden Planning $46.48 This book is much expanded and enlarged from the author's first book - Villa Gardens - which he published in 1902. Drawing on the works of Mawson, Robinson and others, William Rogers provides a 'classic' view of - and a fascinating insight into - early 20th century design. Little is known about him as a designer of historical note, but he lays claim to having designed some 'hundreds of gardens'. By their small and urban nature few, if any, survive but Rogers was obviously at the vanguard of urban garden design, with a predisposition to the fashionable flower garden rather than the vegetable garden. The black and white plans throughout the book are inspiring in their simplicity, and give classic solutions to urban garden shapes. As the author maintains, "the cost of good design is a trifling sum on the total outlay, and it invariably justifies itself". The original advertisements, refecting the period, are included at the end of the book.
