Planning Something Big – Outbuildings
Outbuildings of any kind are subject to various local government building regulations and many outbuilding structures require planning permission before you can proceed. As such, it is always recommended that before you build an outbuilding of any kind you consult with your local governing authority beforehand to make sure you know which rules and regulations apply to your area before you begin work.
Factors such as the percentage of land used up, floor dimensions, height restrictions and proximity to public pathways in relation to your home are all areas to consider when applying for planning permission. It is therefore highly likely that you will require planning permission for any outbuilding in your garden you wish to construct.
