Planning Permission & Building Regulations

The vast majority of our installations do not require Planning Permission but where planning is required we will guide you all the way. 

A garden building of less than 30sq metres doesn’t have to meet any regulations, but anything over that is subject to Planning and/or Building Regulations. 

It is likely that you will need planning consent if any of the following apply:

·       The structure will take up 50% or more of your garden

·       The garden office will be within 5m of your house

·       Your home is a listed building

·       You live in a conservation area

·       The garden office will be sited between your house and a public highway

·       You wish to install a kitchen, W.C and /or bathroom facilities.
