Do I require Garden Room Planning Permission?
Garden Room Planning Permission requirements.
Outbuildings are considered to be permitted development, not requiring an application for planning permission providing they meet all of the following conditions:
- The outbuilding is located at the rear of your property.
- Your property isn't a listed or graded building.
- The outbuilding isn't to be used as permanent living accommodation.
- The outbuilding isn't based in a national park, the Broads, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or World Heritage Site.
- The outbuilding must not exceed 50% of the total area of land around the original house (as of 1948).
- The outbuilding must be single storey.
- If the outbuilding is within 2 metres of the property boundary the whole building should not exceed 2.5 metres in height.
Cheshire Cedar Buildings can help with your understanding as to whether the proposed outbuilding is permitted development.
Should planning permission be required, we can support your garden room planning permission application with 2D drawings and attend meetings with the local authority.
DISCLAIMER: You should always check with your Local Planning Authority and your properties Title Deeds whether permitted development rights apply – they may have been removed by what is known as Article 4 directions. Other consents may be required if your house is listed or in a designated area.
