How will this effect your business?
In the majority of cases planning permission for your Superior Timber Building is not required - for a typical
installation. However there are instances where an application would need to be made. If permission is required,
we are on hand to assist you with this if necessary. The interpretation of planning requirements may vary dependent
on your local authority.
Garden rooms are considered to be permitted development, not requiring planning permission (subject to a number of limits
and conditions).
In the vast majority of cases planning permission is only required if:
• Your building will cover more than 50% or more of your grounds
• Your building exceeds 30 square metres
• Your building is taller than 4 metres once erected.
• Your building has a max overall height over 2.5m and is positioned within two meters of your boundary?
• Your building stands on Green Belt land, within a conservation area, next to a listed building.
• Your room ‘stands forward of the principal elevation of your house, fronting the highway’
