Thinking of adding a garden room to your property? You might wonder if it involves complex planning permission. In most cases, garden rooms can be built without this fuss. Let’s break it down and make it easy to understand.
Permitted Development Rights (PDRs) are your friend. They let you make property changes without planning permission hassle. In the UK, most houses enjoy these rights. However, flats, maisonettes, and listed buildings often need planning permission. So, do garden rooms?
For many properties, the rule is simple. Imagine a line along your house’s main front. Anything in front of this line usually needs planning permission. But what’s in the side or back garden? Usually, it’s all good and doesn’t need planning permission.
Building regulations sound fancy, but they’re simple too. For small garden rooms:
Less than 15 square metres with no sleeping? Usually, there are no regulations.
Between 15 and 30 square metres, no sleeping, and 1 metre from your boundary? Still no regulations.
But if you plan to sleep in it, regulations kick in.
If your garden room has electricity, follow Part P of Building Regulations.
An electrician will connect it safely to your mains and issue a compliance certificate.
Understanding garden room rules doesn’t have to be complicated. If you stick to these easy guidelines, you can likely build your garden room without the headache of planning.
