Even if the construction falls within permitted development dimensions there are still regulations about proximity to boundaries etc. I would certainly be contacting the LA even if only to get guidance from them.
Yes I can understand the example you quote as that would rightly be classed as Business Premises. One does wonder what some councils allow or bother to investigate. The ones I was thinking of were those domestic premises which are also "business". If just tapping away on a computer in the shed, who's to know and if it doesn't impinge on neighbours, it's fine. If machinery is running all day - eg revamping stuff to flog on the Inet and the person responsible hasn't made any effort to soundproof, it's a slightly different matter. I'm somewhat biased I'm afraid

Thanks, I will do!
You know what, we may not even have minded if the material used was at least something resembling a fence. But its just a huge hunk of metal sticking out from behind the wall.
Sorry, not sure why my images keep posting sideways.
Don't worry, it's not you, it's a combination of the size of the image and the Forum's weirdness. If you can compress the image, it'll probably come out the right way up. We're all used to looking at things sideways

Building regulations require that any building that close to a boundary should be built of non-combustable materials which may explain the choice of material.
It does look like it's giving you more privacy though and doesn't block out more light than the existing house. Black is also a nice backdrop colour to highlight some plants. Just some positives.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
