I want to run my new house with a biomass boiler using wood chip. I think I need a 6ton storage facility to keep bulk cost reasinable but am wondering if I need planning permission for a building that will be about 15 to 18 square metres?

Definitely not Grand Designs Tennets....it would just be one long bleep!! Stones it was originally a farm house refurbish and extension but the old house had been neglected for well over 50 years and ended up being demolished so a clean sheet of paper. Timber frame construction with glum as the main ingredient and then lots of glass. We got a builder in early days for the slab and foundations and they just made an absolute pigs ear of various aspects all of which we ended up putting right. Timber frame went up in less than two weeks and roof took another three from there. Glass has been an ongoing saga and still isn't right but we've got the manufacturers involcved now so hopefully there is some light at the end of that tunnel. We have done the M&E ourselves and are almost done on 1st fix electrics and plumbing. Trying to work out how to clad in our windoews when they are eventually finished and then we will move on from there! In the meantime we have built and finished a block of 9 stables, tack room and two barns plus a 40mtr 20mtr riding school...so we have had a few distractions!!

I got some drawings done by nuair but there unit and ducting seems very dear...is it that good or are there better suggestions out there please?
