As homeowners, we’re always on the lookout for ways to enhance our living spaces. Whether it’s expanding our homes or creating new areas for relaxation and productivity, garden rooms have become a popular solution. Before embarking on your garden room project, there’s a crucial question to consider: do garden rooms require planning permissions in Scotland?
In Scotland, garden rooms typically fall within what’s known as “permitted development rights”. This means that, under certain conditions, you can construct a garden room without the need to obtain planning permission.
At Norscot, we understand the importance of navigating these regulations smoothly. That’s why our garden rooms are meticulously designed to adhere to these regulations. This ensures our structures are a straightforward addition to your home and garden. Whether you’re building a home office, a gym, or simply a peaceful retreat, a garden room can transform your outdoor space into a functional and inviting area.
If your proposed garden room doesn’t meet the criteria for permitted development rights, planning permission will have to be applied for through your local council. But don’t worry, our experienced team is committed to ensuring your garden room journey is as stress-free as possible. We will submit planning permission applications on your behalf at no extra cost apart from any statutory fees; meaning you can enjoy the experience of designing your dream garden room.
From the initial consultation to delivery to your site, our team is dedicated to bringing your vision to life; we are here to help you every step of the way. With our expertise and your creativity, your dream garden room is closer than you think.
