basically you can have an exempt building in your garden as long as people do not live in it
i.e. summer house,play house etc
there is a big problem in luton with certain ethnic minorities building "sheds" in their gardens and then sub letting to poor families from the same ethnic group
bed in a shed

If I don't need PP, that would be a real boon, but I'll check with the council as I recall a case nearly 20 yrs ago in this very village where a customer was using a steel container as a garage/workshop for his push-bikes and had to get retrospective PP because steel was not considered 'temporary' in they way that a wooden shed would have been.

I would have thought it was down to 'portability' rather then material. You could argue those 'fifth wheel' mobile homes could fall into the same area of mobility as a container as it needs a good size wagon to move.
You thought about railway carriages?
