Garden Buildings and Log Cabins
Extract from: ‘Planning, A guide for Householders’ (Published by the Department of the Environment, Transport & the Regions). 3rd September 2002.
Many kinds of buildings and structures can be built in your garden without the need to apply for planning permission. These can include sheds, garages, greenhouses/potting sheds. Accommodation for pets and domestic animals, summer houses, swimming pools, ponds, sauna cabins, enclosures (including tennis courts), and many other kinds of structure. You will need to apply for planning permission if any of the following cases apply:
* You want to put up a building or structure, which would be nearer to any highway than the nearest part of the ‘original house’, unless there would be at leaset 20 metres between the new building and the highway. The term ‘highway’ includes public roads, footpaths, bridleways, and byways.
* More than half the area around the ‘original house’ would be covered by additions or other buildings.
* The building or structure is not to be used for domestic purposes, and is instead, for example for parking a commercial vehicle, running a business or storing goods in connection with a business.
* You want to put up a structure which is more than 3m high, or 4m if it has a ridged roof.
* If you plan to build your BBQ hut within 5m of your house, it may be deemed to be an extension. If you have already extended your property under permitted development the hut will be included in your permitted development allowance. This rule is that the total extension volume may not exceed 30% of the original volume of the house.
