The Collection
Do I need Planning Permission for a Garden Home?
All our Garden Homes are built as mobile homes. Because a mobile home is classed as ‘use of land’ rather than ‘development’, all homes (including listed buildings and conservation areas) already have permission to site a mobile home, or caravan, as long as the use is directly connected to the main house – such as an annex for an elderly parent”
“A Lawful Development Certificate can be provided if the essential requirements are met; that the unit (mobile home) will be within the curtilage of the main building (primarily your garden) ; that it is constructed in the right way and that the use is connected to the main house”
All our Garden Homes are built to exceed the construction requirements of mobile homes and can be built on site or delivered pre-built.
We have our own specialist planning consultant to advise and help obtain the LDC if needed.
Do I need Planning Permission for a Garden Room?
Garden rooms generally come under the Permitted Development Rule. In simple terms if you want to place your building with 2m of your boundary you are limited to a maximum height of 2.5m.
If you want to site your building 2m away from your boundary the height of the building can be 3m high for a mono pitch roof or 4m high for a gable roof with maximum eaves height of 2.5m. If you intend to sleep in your building you will need planning permission.
Please note if you live in a listed building or conservation area you may well need planning but please do not be put off as we have experts on hand to help you with this.
Do I need Building Regulations for my Garden Home?
Building regulations do not apply to our Garden Homes as they are classified as Mobile Homes.
Do I need Building Regulations for my Garden Home?
Building regulations will not normally apply if the floor area of the building is less than 15 square meters and contains NO sleeping accommodation. If the floor area of the building is between 15 square meters and 30 square meters, 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 meter from any boundary or it is constructed of substantially non-combustible materials
Do I get a guarantee with your buildings?
All our buildings carry a 10 year warranty
How long do they take to build?
Our Garden Rooms usually take from 3-4 weeks to complete excluding the ground works.
Our Garden Homes usually take 14-16 weeks to complete excluding the ground works.
What is the process from initial enquiry to taking delivery?
After your initial contact with us we will arrange for a site visit / survey where we discuss your requirements, survey the area where you would like to site the building and discuss any ground works and services that may be needed. This is totally free of charge. You may also want to visit our showroom to see a selection of different fixture and fitting options for your building.
We will then draw up a 3D model of your building and at this point we will be able to give you a fairly accurate price. Obviously this price can vary depending on any changes you may make going forward.
If you are happy with our design and quote we will ask for a non-refundable deposit. This will be used to create the engineering drawings needed to construct your building and produce detailed specification that you will sign off on.
Once the specification is signed off we will then ask for a 50% non-refundable payment to start the build, we then ask for another 25% before delivery and the final 25% of the balance when the building is handed over to you.
How wide an access do you need to build on site?
As long as you have a gate or side access to your garden we should be able to carry all the components through into the garden. We would rather not have to carry materials through your house but it has been known!
