Garden rooms are considered ‘outbuildings’ by UK building regulations, meaning you are not usually required to seek planning permission before having a new garden cabin installed. There are, however, a few key rules you will need to comply with in order for your building to fall under permitted regulations. These are as follows:

• Garden rooms must be single story
• The building cannot exceed more than 50% of your garden. When calculating the 50% overall you must take into consideration all outbuildings including sheds, and extensions to the original home.
• It should not be sited on land forward of a wall forming the 'principal elevation' (that means not in front of the house).
• If the garden room is within 2m of the property boundary the whole building should not be higher than 2.5m
