In most cases across the UK, a garden room built within a residential garden does not require planning permission if it complies with Permitted Development Rights. These typically include:

Height Restrictions: The structure must not exceed 2.5m in eaves height, 4m total height for dual-pitched roofs, 3m for other roof types, or 2.5m in total height if located within 2 metres of a boundary.
Placement: It must be sited behind the main front wall of the house.
Intended Use: The garden room should be used for purposes incidental to the main home, such as a gym, office, or studio, and not as a separate living space.
Size Limits: The total area covered by the garden room and other outbuildings must not exceed 50% of the total garden.
Protected Land: Additional restrictions apply in areas such as National Parks, conservation zones, and properties that are listed.

If the proposed structure goes beyond these conditions or is intended for full-time living, formal planning permission will likely be necessary. It’s essential to consult your local authority to confirm requirements for your specific location.

Do I Need Permission

In most cases, planning permission isn’t necessary as our garden rooms are designed to fall within the permitted development limits for residential properties. However, restrictions may apply depending on where the structure is placed, and if your home is listed or in a conservation area, it's essential to seek guidance from your local planning authority.

Yes, all our garden rooms are fully insulated to provide comfort throughout the year. We use premium insulation in the walls, roof, and floor to deliver outstanding thermal efficiency—keeping the space warm during colder months and cool in the summer. This makes them perfectly suited for use as home offices, studios, or tranquil retreats.
