You get clear advice — A plain-English answer and the right next step.

Often, yes. It depends on the size, height, where it sits on your block, and any overlays. A quick check confirms exactly what your shed needs.
Almost always. A secondary dwelling needs approval, and the rules cover its size, setbacks, parking, and whether it can be rented separately.
Maybe. Zoning, minimum lot sizes, access and services all decide. A feasibility check is the only way to know for sure.
It depends on your zoning and the type of structure, and setback rules are often different from what people expect.
