What is a Garden room?
A garden room is an ideal solution to increase your living and workspace without disrupting your home.

Where can it be build and do I require a planning permission?
Garden Rooms are considered to be permitted development, not requiring an application for planning permission*,
provided all the following conditions are met.

• Garden Rooms must be single storey with a maximum eaves height of 2.5 metres and maximum overall height of 4 metres with a dual pitched roof, or 3 metres in any other case.

• If the Garden Room is within 2 metres of the property boundary the whole building needs to be less than 2.5 metres high.

• You can build up to 50% of the area of all your garden.

• The area of your garden is all your land except the part the house stands on, so the area includes the front garden, side gardens and back garden, less the area of any other buildings, fuel tanks etc.

• No buildings are to go in front of the front elevation of the house

• Conservation areas; you cannot build at the front or side, but you can place a garden room in the back garden

• Listed buildings; need full planning permission.

• Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty; maximum size is10sq metres and it has to be at least 20 metres away from the house.

• Any new building must not itself be separate, self-contained, living accommodation and must not have a microwave antenna. In this case, it would need planning permission.

Can it be used all year round?
Our garden rooms are fully insulated and built to last so they can be used all year-round.

What size can a garden room be?

• Less Than 15m2 Internal Floor Area – Building regulations will not normally apply.

• Between 15m2 And 30m2 – Building regulations are required if the garden room is built less than a meter from a boundary or it is not constructed substantially of non-combustible materials.

• Anything larger than 30m2 building regulations are required.

• In all cases, building regulations are required if the building contains any sleeping accommodation.
