Garden Room Planning Specialists

If your garden room project requires planning permission, there are specialist companies who can help you achieve a successful outcome.

For taller garden room designs that exceed the height allowed under Permitted Development—such as to provide extra headroom for a garden gym—or if you wish to bypass the positioning restrictions outlined by Permitted Development rules, a planning application will be required.

If you live in a flat or maisonette, Permitted Development rights do not apply, meaning you will always need to obtain planning approval to build a garden room. Similarly, for properties in areas such as a National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or a World Heritage Site, additional rules apply. While you may still be able to build under Permitted Development, these extra regulations must be taken into consideration.

Your chances of securing planning approval are much higher if you work with a specialist planning consultant.

Many garden room companies either have in-house planning experts or partner with planning specialists on projects that require planning applications. These services are often included as part of the overall package.

Alternatively, you can independently engage a planning consultant to guide your project. Several companies specialise in garden room planning applications, and we hear that the ones listed below have impressive success rates.
