Talent Garden Dublin

It's interesting to see how the garden office ethos is increasingly used in new office setups. Here is the office space of new co-working specialists Talent Garden Dublin which uses greenery spread around the floors and desks to add a nice shedworkingesque touch. A rooftop garden terrace is also in the works. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The importance of planning permission for your garden office

It's always worth reminding people considering going down the garden office route that it's crucial to get all the paperwork in place before setting up. As reported in the Bucks Free Press, a shed in Chalfont St Peter will have to come down after neighbours of the owner complained to Chiltern District Council's planning committee about how it was intruding on their home life.
 According to the report "numerous phone calls" were being made from the 2.54m shed structure which affected the couple's health and privacy. The councillors were divided but voted to refuse a retrospective planning application because the proximity of the building to the neighbour’s fence “contravenes our general conditions”.

As always, it's a good idea to take a look at the Planning Portal before going to talk to your local planners.

Plankbridge looking to expand hutmaking team

Shepherd's hut specialists Plankbridge are on the lookout for new members of their team based in Dorset. They've already recently recruited a prep person to sand and prepare windows/doors, putting on hinges, and provide general support. Nice job with decent folk for the right person. Details below and you can contact them via the link above.

Casting our net to find the right person, or two, to join our team of Hutmakers. It’s not a carpentry job as such, broader than that and takes an adaptable, think on your feet, #craft #designaware #handmade #boatbuilding #timberframe type approach #job #Dorset Retweets will help!

With our new prep area person starting Tuesday we are still looking for the right person(s) to join the team as Hutmaker - must be an enthusiastic all rounder, main aptitude for #woodwork but hutmaking is broader than that. #Dorset #jobs #timber #heritage #furniture #workinateam
