As a rule of thumb you can erect decking in the front garden as long as the total area of 'stuff' (sheds, decking etc) within your curtilage doesn't exceed 50% of the total available area, and the decking is no higher than 300mm. If your decking is any higher it will be treated as an 'outbuilding' as it encloses a significant volume of air...
Your garden storage bin will be treated as an 'outbuilding' for which you will need planning permission if it is forward of the wall forming the principal elevation (i.e. the front wall of the house).
You do need to check your tennancy agreemet as this may contain restrictive clauses. I you own the house, your deeds may contain a restrictive covenant imposed by the Council when it was first sold.
Unless your Council is flush with cash it won't give you a definitive answer to the planning permission question. You can get one however by applying for a Lawful Development Certificate. The fee for this is currently £103 (half the normal planning fee for works within your curtilage).
My advice (but don't sue if it all goes pair-shaped as this is informal, we have no contract etc etc...) is to do the work then see if anybody complains. If you get a knock on the door from the Enforcement Officer, contact me and I'll sort a retrospective planning application if the Council wants to take it further. Quite often people get letters asking them to remove things but Council's don't follow up with an Enforcement Notice because it isn't expedient to spend public money on minor matters.
Hope this helps! ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

I don't know where your star-gazing pal got his information from, but he is misinformed. If a structure attains permanence by virtue of it not actually moving (irrespective of whether it can actually move if pushed) then it is treated as a permanent structure. Whether it blocks light or a view isn't a consideration in the question of whether it needs planning permission. Should it need it, then the matter of impact upon a neighbour's 'amenity' is taken into account when determining the application.
Its height in relation to your boundary is something that influences whether planning permission is necessary. The most important thing here however is that any 'outbuilding' in the front garden will need planning permission irrespective of height.
'Special circumstances' are not taken into account when deciding whether planning permission is needed, but may be taken into account when determining an application.
An advantage of making the bin moveable however is that by moving it from place to place within the garden you can deflect an Enforcement Notice if it relates to a specific position. A canny Local Authority will word its Notice to include any location within the front garden however...
I realise it is all semantics, but that is our glorious planning system for you! ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

The thing to do is to ignore any contact from the Planning Department unless you are served with a formal Notice. Letters warning of action are merely that and have no legal effect. The Council may ask you to remove it or submit a retrospective planning application by letter, but you don't have to do either at this stage.
You may receive a thing called a Planning Contravention Notice. This is an information-gathering tool and you must answer its questions or face a fine. Within your reply you do have the opportunity to argue your case however, and I advise that you do so at this stage if served.
Alternatively the Council could go straight to the Enforcement Notice stage, to which you have the chance to appeal. The sensible thing to do if one of these is served however is to agree with the Council that you will submit a retrospective planning application - Councils will usually wait for the decision before pursuing the matter further.
If you can, don't move the structure at all. After 10 years in the same position with the same use it will become immune from enforcement action, unless that is the Council contact you an ask for its removal within that period. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

damn may need to change plans
just been offered a deal on this beast and could add another ft to incorporate it or have to mount it when needed
but its worth the hassle but can't be left out as fully loaded its over £3k worth of scope and mount never mind the camera's for it
plus I'm wondering why I bother
the last 3 months I've had the scope out 3 times and its currently snowing
like biking Astronomy needs decent weather ____________________ I have become comfortably numb
