UK permitted development,
simplified.
Do I need planning permission?
For the majority of UK gardens, no. The diagram below shows the exact permitted-development envelope.
The four things that affect planning.
Positioning
Where the room sits in relation to the house and aspect.
Height & Roofline
Eaves, ridge and how the roofline reads within the garden.
Boundary Proximity
Distance to fences and neighbouring lines.
Intended Use
A quiet office, studio or retreat — not a separate dwelling.
Every garden is different.
Every project begins with a site visit — a proper look at access, levels, boundaries and how the room will sit within the space.
If planning is required.
