The Guardian — Business has reported on “Report: ‘Just look at this monstrosity!’ Inside Britain’s bilious back yard shed wars,” presenting it as the central development in the source material available for this brief.
The number of luxury sheds and garden rooms has rocketed since the pandemic – fuelled by those wanting an office, a gym or extra living space. The report also notes that Meanwhile, the resentment between neighbours has been rising, too Linda loves her shed. She loves that she can work there rather than in her dining room, which her toddler likes to tear through. She loves its Scandinavian vibe – it’s clad in wood and set on decking at the bottom of her garden. She loves the views of the countryside from the window by her desk. Or she did. Her desk faces the wall now, because she’s too nervous to face her neighbour. She never sits on the decking, either. “What if they see me?” she states. “It’s a horrible feeling.” Linda’s neighbours are unhappy about her shed, or “garden room”, which is actually two rooms. They do not like its size (7.25 metres by 2.74 metres, or 3.5 metres if you include the raised decking) or its position, about 30 metres away from their house. Linda states they have barely spoken since the construction, which is awkward, as the gardens are separated by a low fence.
