Building Permit

Before constructing a new garden building, it is essential to determine whether the structure needs Planning Permission or is exempt from this requirement. Some buildings with specific technical characteristics may not require Planning Permission, allowing you to avoid the application process, thus saving time and money. However, there is a high chance that your selected building may not meet all the requirements regarding its type, size, location, purpose, and technical specifications to be exempt from Planning Permission. Moreover, regulations vary significantly depending on the location, which makes the process more complicated.

Planning Permission-Free Constructions
If your selected building meets all the following requirements, you may not need to apply for Planning Permission:

• You are building a single-storey outbuilding in your premises (e.g., your backyard).
• Your selected building does not feature a balcony, platform (raised more than 300 mm from the ground), or veranda. We ensure our wooden structures with verandas are not raised more than 300 mm from the ground.
• The roof of the building is up to 4 m in height (double-pitched) or up to 3 m in height (single-pitched). The eaves must be up to 2.5 m in height.
• The ridge height is up to 2.5 m (if the house is built within 2 m of the boundary) or 4 m (if the house is built more than 2 m from any boundary).
• The newly built structure will be used for non-residential purposes only (e.g., lounging, storage, or remote working).

If you answered “yes” to all the above, you will likely not require Planning Permission. However, we recommend double-checking with your Local Planning Authorities.
