Frequently asked Questions:
​
Do I require planning permission?
The beauty of a Garden Room is that they do not require planning permission, we have carefully designed our products, so they meet all regulations. There may be some very rare exceptions to this, such as your property being on conservation land, however, 90% of the time you will not require planning permission. If you are unsure, please visit: Planning permission - GOV.UK
​
Do your Garden Rooms conform to building regulations?
Not only do all of our Garden Rooms meet building regulations, but they also surpass them. We have carefully reviewed every detail of our Garden Rooms to ensure that all regulations are taken care of. We have taken every care to ensure our Garden Rooms are built to the same high standard as most British houses.
​
How close can I get to my garden wall?
We recommend you speak to your local planning authority, as guidelines vary. As a rule, most garden rooms need to be 1 meter away from the boundary line.
​
Can I use my Garden Room all year round?
Yes – all our Steel Frame Kyube and Hub Garden Rooms are fully insulated and are designed to withstand the great British weather and will be just as inviting as your own home, no matter the season. Our Timber Frame Kyube comes ready for you to add your own insulation and finishing touches, which will leave you with a room which is ready to be used all year round.
