Do I need planning permission for a garden studio?
In most cases, planning permission is not required for a garden studio, provided it adheres to specific size and height restrictions. The studio must not occupy more than 50% of your existing garden and should comply with other parameters set by the local authority.
Do I need building regulations approval?
For structures under 15m², building regulations approval is generally not necessary. If the floor area is between 15m² and 30m², approval is typically not required as long as the studio does not include sleeping accommodation and is either at least one meter from any boundary or constructed primarily of non-combustible materials. If the size exceeds 30m², approval will be required, and the studio must meet the same standards as if it were an extension to your home. Our team is available to assist you with this process.
Are your garden studios warm?
Absolutely! Our garden studios are designed with a minimum specification that includes thermal and acoustically rated insulation. Additionally when meeting building regulations requirements the heat loss calculations and specifications will again be equivalent to those of an attached home extension, ensuring a comfortable environment.
How much do your garden studios cost?
The cost of our garden studios varies based on size, design, intended use, and customisation. We offer standard specifications that can be adjusted to meet your requirements, as well as in-house design services for a fully bespoke architectural feature. Our packages start from £5,000 for a small office pod and starts from £20,000 for a bespoke design.
Do you provide soundproofing?
Yes, we have extensive experience in soundproofing and can guide you through the additional specifications needed for your specific requirements. Whether you need a soundproof space for drumming, a cosy cinema room, or a silent home office, we will ensure that you and your neighbours do not experience any unwanted noise.
