Sheds
Sheds can be erected on Walmer boat plots, but you must acquire
planning permission first.
Sheds are also ratable and are for the storage of fishing and
boat equipment only.
Once you surrender your plot, you must remove all your
equipment, including the shed. Anything left behind becomes
property of the Council.
You cannot sell or assign your plot or shed.
