Frequently Asked Questions

Many garden rooms fall under Permitted Development rights, meaning you don't need formal planning permission. However, this depends on the size, height, and position of the building, as well as whether your property is in a conservation area or has other restrictions. We assess every project individually and handle all planning applications if required. Our full architectural plans are drawn up to ensure compliance with all local planning regulations.

Yes. All our garden rooms and annexes are designed and built to comply with current building regulations. This includes structural integrity, fire safety, insulation, ventilation, and electrical standards. We arrange full structural engineer reports, structural calculations, and soil tests as part of every project to ensure complete compliance.

We provide a comprehensive package including full architectural plans and drawings, structural engineer reports, structural calculations, and soil tests. All documentation is prepared to conform with both planning regulations and building regulations. This ensures your project is fully compliant and gives you complete peace of mind.

Self-contained annexes typically do require planning permission as they are considered a separate dwelling. We handle the entire planning application process on your behalf, including preparing all necessary architectural drawings, structural calculations, and supporting documentation to give your application the best chance of approval.

A standard garden room typically takes 4–6 weeks from start to completion. Annexes with full kitchens and bathrooms may take 8–12 weeks depending on complexity. We provide a detailed project timeline during the design phase so you know exactly what to expect at every stage.
