Can anyone give me the definition of what is a Temporary structure?
We have a site where a large building (approx 20m long by 10m wide ) made from bricks and blocks etc has been built, there are no plans to take the building down as its used for training builders in bricklaying etc, but the team who built it have said that as its a Temporary structure it does not need planning permission or come under any building regs etc. This doesnt seem right to me at all but need something solid I can take back to them
many thanks

Always a moot point this one but not to difficult to clear up for you.
In the first instance its hardly temporary if constructed from brick and block, life span say 350yrs!, secondly building control is strict and I can assure you without any doubt you will have required regs to build it in the first place, foundations, materials, height, roof construction, RSJ's etc etc, I would also be certain that if you have not applied for permission to build it you will need to file for retrospective, and work on the basis that they may ask you to take it down or alter it significantly, lots of questions here, does it fall within the local brown site building plan, is it overlooked, soil types etc etc.
Temporary buildings generally are made of a product that is not permanent, wood, fibre glass etc etc, if your building is attached to an existing building then there are certain allowances for building, but again I can assure you; you far exceed them with this size.
In answer to the question posed, you are the one that is in essence correct!
All the best
Charles

Ian.
I would suggest a discussion with your local authority planning office would be in order before you get into hot water.
The term retrospective planning consent jumps to mind!!
