In most cases, our standard garden room buildings (up to 30sq metres) do not require planning permission as they are built to comply with permitted development rights. However, rooms that are ‘habitable’ such as bedrooms, do require planning permission and building regulations. We recommend individuals checking they have permitted development rights first, Custom Garden Rooms are on hand to help if needed.
Put simply, a garden annexe is a ‘habitable room’ meaning it contains living accommodation. Due to this, planning permission will need to be obtained and building regulations approval will also be required, but don’t worry we can help with all this. The construction of the building is also modified to adhere to all of the above.
Absolutely! Our garden rooms are designed for year-round use, and are well insulated and come with an electric heater.
Yep – our custom garden rooms are designed to fit your needs so if you need a toilet, we’ll include it in your design and build!
This is not a recommendation for a garden room. If you need an outdoor living space to be habitable, you need a garden annexe – which we can also build for you! For habitable rooms please look at our range of annexes.
We include all electrics in our garden rooms. Hooking the electrics to the main property is an optional extra which can be quoted for prior to the project start date.

Garden rooms are designed to permanent structures and withstand the test of time meaning it would not be practical to move them once they have been built.

In most cases homes will have permitted development rights, however it is always worth checking. If you live in an article 4 area, then permitted development rights will have been removed and planning permission will be necessary. Please contact your local planning department for more information or get in touch with us if you need any further guidance on this.
Typically our custom outdoor living spaces are completed between 6 and 12 weeks. If you need something a little different or we think there will be any issues with your build which will affect this lead time, we will let you know ahead of your project starting.
Our custom garden rooms are typically built between 7-10 working days, with annexes taking between 10-15 working days to build, depending on the specification.
A path to the garden is ideal for us. However, with careful planning, we can get materials to site through very difficult access areas – we’ve tried before!
Our garden rooms are built at 2.5m as standard to comply with permitted development rights. However, a height of up to 3m can be achieved with planning permission.
