Stunning conservatories are frequently created in the most unlikely places and a valuable extra room can be built in a previously unused part of a courtyard or garden. Filling an awkward area or dark recess with an attractive functional conservatory, no matter how small, is a great investment particularly when ground space is at a premium.
Our conservatory design consultants are experienced in obtaining approval from local planning authorities and can offer advice, at the outset, on what is likely to be permitted. We will gladly facilitate the preparation and submission of all necessary applications.
ECO GARDEN POD FAQ'S
In most cases you will not need planning permission to erect a garden room – if the eaves height is under 2.5 and it doesn’t project beyond the front wall of your house. In general, adding a stand-alone, single storey garden room to the rear or side garden is usually allowed under Permitted Development.
However, we recommend that you check the Government’s Planning Portal online before starting any work on a garden pod to ensure you comply with the rules. The planning portal refers to garden rooms as outbuildings.
