Planing rules/permission for back garden observatories?

Hi All,

I have been getting closer and closer to building an observatory in my back
garden (fed up with the set up time in and out of my current shed), and
thought it prudent to ask the news group for collective knowledge and
understanding of the planing rules and requirements for such a structure.

Assuming a dedicated building, built from either wood or brick/breeze block,
with either a dome or roll-off roof, are there any important planing issues
in terms of location, height, size, etc I need to take into account?

Your combined wisdom is anticipated with appreciation.


Very best wishes and clear, dark skies.
