Looking for Outbuilding Planning Permission?

Outbuilding Planning Permission

If you are considering building an outbuilding of some kind whether it’s a shed, a playhouse, a pagoda or something else, you are probably wondering do I need planning permission?

The good news is that outbuildings can often be considered permitted development, not requiring an application for planning permission. However, this is only provided it meets all the necessary planning and design criteria to comply with permitted development. Additionally, if there are any constraints that limit or remove your permitted development rights then full planning permission would be required even if you meet the criteria for permitted development. Planning permission laws for outbuildings apply to sheds, playhouses, greenhouses and garages as well as other ancillary garden buildings such as swimming pools, ponds, sauna cabins, kennels, enclosures (including tennis courts) and many other kinds of structure for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse.
