Do I need Planning Permission?
In Scotland you generally don’t need Planning Permission for an ancillary building unless;
- The size is over 30m2 in size or takes up more than 50% of your garden area.
- It is erected within a conservation area or beside a listed building.
- It requires water and drainage for a kitchen or bathroom.
- You are using it to live in (see our granny annexe).
- Any part of the building that is a metre or less from the boundary is no higher than 2.5 metres.
- The eaves (underside of the roof) is no higher than 3 metres.
If Planning Permissions is required then this is not a problem, we can advise you accordingly and apply for it on your behalf. We may need to alter the makeup of our garden rooms to satisfy your local authority, such as increasing the level of insulation or adding a mains powered heat detector.
We’re increasingly being asked for a complete Office Pod that will accommodate a single person, desk and chair. So, we’ve introduced our new 2m x 2m (internal size) garden room that is perfect for having a home office in the garden.
It’s build exactly like all our other rooms but is just a bit smaller! Included in this special price is 3 double sockets, light point and switch and internet repeater!
As with all our builds they’re completely finished including painting and flooring so you can walk in and get to work straight away.
This model is available both in our standard Cube design or with an Overhang.
Can I connect water for a toilet, kitchen or shower?
Yes, however as mentioned above our garden rooms generally don’t required Planning Permission unless your build falls into one of the exceptions. Connecting water for a toilet, sink, shower or kitchen will mean we need to connect to your existing facilities and obtain permission from your local authority. We can apply for this on your behalf, an additional fee will apply.
If you’re intending on using a garden room to live with a bathroom, shower and kitchenette then please see our granny annexe solution.
Alternatively, to avoid having to obtain Permission or change the structure to suit your local authority you could opt for fresh and grey water tanks. Similar to a caravan you fill up the water for use then the waste discharges into another tank you can empty. This is a common way of avoiding the costs associated with a traditional route.
Can I attach it to my property?
If you’re looking to have a garden room turned into an extension and attached to your property just let us know. We offer a fixed rate package for which includes;
- Architect’s drawings
- Planning Permission
- Building Warrant
- Engineer’s SER Certificate
- Change of wall make-up and roof covering
- Deeper concrete foundation (up to 600mm)
- Connection to drainage (up to 5m)
As a master builder we also offer additional services such as;
- Cut through to your home
- Erection of fire wall (when you’re within 1m of the boundary)
- Brickwork and roughcasting to match your home
When attaching a garden room to a home you’re effectively creating an extension. We would recommend budgeting £1,750 – £2,000 per square metre to create a bespoke room.
