Pergoda? A combination of pergola and pagoda?

Pretty much, a wooden covered structure for outside seating, providing handy shelter for the traditional British rainy BBQ.

And it will take an unlikely set of circumstances for someone to put a spade through it, methinks.

Never underestimate a nine-year-old with a "lightsabre".

We're in danger of needing a diagram here...!

We've got a 40x10ft concrete block, with a pergoda/covered seating area in the first 16ft and then a large shed for the remaining 24ft.  The house is about 8ft away from the pergoda.  We'll take the wiring out of the side of the house, across our framework and onto the internal of the pergoda's front beam.  It'll go along there and then into the side wall of the shed, underneath the roof line, so it'll be covered by the pergoda roof and safe from the elements. 

That's better.

Takes me back to the Deolali Bashas in It Ain't Half Hot Mum.

Quite so.  With electricity laid on, is this an enhancement requiring planning permission?

Not under the new rules no, it classes as 'permitted development' as it's less than 2.5m high and doesn't take up a large percentage of the available outside space.

Ma had her 2nd jab yesterday at local Health Centre. Staff/helpers... Many Thanks!
Took 'our' chair this time... just as well, as she went into 'Can't stand up/do anything' mode before we set off... and for rest of the day.   'Coped'...  but I'm having to realise that, at nearly 59, I am NOT 'what I was', only 4 yrs ago!
Still, Her jab job done... until 'boosters' for new variants become available later in year!
