Planning Permission
Garden rooms are classified as outbuildings and therefore fall under permitted development rights for householders. Structures that are regarded as permitted developments do not require planning permission. However, they must comply with all conditions specified under planning laws. Should you be unsure of the conditions specified under the permitted development laws, please contact your local council planning department.
Building Regulations
We would recommend that you contact your local Building Control Department to enquire whether your structure and the building use will require building regulations approval.
It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure that all Planning and Building regulations are satisfied by the relevant local departments, and the use of the building falls within the building regulation and planning stipulations.
