Elite Garden Rooms
Rules & regulations:
If you want to put up small detached buildings such as a garden shed or summerhouse in your garden, building regulations will not normally apply if the floor area of the building is less than 15 square metres.
​
If the floor area of the building is between 15 square metres and 30 square metres, you will not normally be required to apply for building regulations approval providing that the building contains no sleeping accommodation and is either at least one metre from any boundary or it is constructed substantially of non-combustible materials.
Do garden rooms need planning permission?
​
Garden rooms or buildings do not require planning permission, if they fall within permitted development guidelines. To classify as an 'outbuilding' under permitted development rules, it must not contain sleeping accommodation and must be single storey with a maximum eaves height of 2.5m.
How high can a garden room be without planning permission?
2.5 metres
Maximum height of 2.5 metres in the case of a building, enclosure or container within two metres of a boundary of the curtilage of the dwellinghouse. No verandas, balconies or raised platforms (a platform must not exceed 0.3 metres in height)
​
What is the maximum size you can build without planning permission?
​
six metres
The permitted development rules have recently been relaxed, allowing you to build an extension without planning permission of up to six metres (or eight metres if your house is detached).

Can you sleep in a garden room?
The short answer is no, if you're talking about a traditional garden shed. A garden building that is to be used as a 'granny annexe' or regular sleeping accommodation will require planning permission and must meet current building regulations. However, with a few modifications you can use your shed as an extra bedroom for occasional use. Most people can construct a shed or garden room under permitted development rights (i.e. without applying for planning permission) and add a sofa bed for the odd guest. However, your garden room must comply with Building Regulations if anyone is going to sleep in it regularly.
