What Size Garden Room Do I Need Without Planning Permission

Under the current permitted development rules, you can build garden rooms up to an external height of 3.0m for a sloping roof and 4m for an apex roof. The distance from boundaries depends upon the particular height chosen. Generally speaking, you cannot take up more than 50% of your total garden area and a garden room needs to be located in a rear garden and not in front of your main residence.

Are Garden Rooms A Good Idea?

Yes, garden rooms are a brilliant idea with many measurable benefits. For example, they add additional value to your property price and financially make more sense than an extension or a loft conversion. A garden room will also help you commit to things you are passionate about such as a home gym fitness space, hobby room or artist`s studio. It can also double as a guest bedroom or a dedicated office work space.

Can You Sleep In A Garden Room?

Yes, you can sleep in a garden room if it is well-insulated and especially if it has been insulated to the latest Building Regulations. A properly insulated room is equipped with all the necessary structural requirements which would allow you to sleep comfortably. A well-insulated garden room maintains a steady temperature through all seasons which make it enjoyable to sleep in. Electric wall mounted panel heaters with timers and thermostatic temperature controls make a garden room even more snug during the winter months.
