Our timber-framed garden rooms for domestic properties typically fall within the realms of ‘Permitted Development’. This means that planning permission which can be an expensive and often lengthy process is not required.
For a garden building to come within the Government’s planning system of ‘Permitted Development’, it needs to comply with key rules including the surrounding environment, location with regards to boundary fences and height. The Government produces technical guidance to help homeowners understand how they can exercise their rights to carry out development while protecting the interests of their neighbours and the wider environment.
