Garden Office and Granny Flat Planning Permission Service.

If you want to work from home in a garden office, build a leisure studio or granny flat you will have consider whether you need planning permission.

Most of the garden office buildings that we construct do not need planning permission, but it is always wise to check.

Planning permission is not about the size of a garden office; it is about the location and its intended use. Even greenhouses need planning permission in certain circumstances.

Granny flats used as a primary dwelling always need planning permission, but there are many circumstances where small granny annexes and accommodation buildings such as Microlodges don’t.

Some of our largest buildings have not required planning permission, whilst some of our smallest ones have because they where built in a Conservation Area or other special space.
