Buying A Summerhouse For My London Garden
If you have a nice sized garden in London, you may look into buying a summerhouse or a studio…
Some of these reasons could be:
Space for a hobby - if you’re an artist or painting it can be the perfect location in which to hone your craft!
Home office - if you are able to work from your 3-bed home, having a home office that is separate from the main 3-bed house can be superb in terms of productivity and concentration.
Ideal location to have a dinner with friends and family in the summer.
It can be used as an outdoor relaxation space - to read and relax.
The vast majority of garden buildings, such as a summerhouse, come under ‘permitted development’ and therefore do not require planning permission.
There are certain rules, however, such as:
The distance from the property boundary.
Usage of the building/ structure.
The height of the building/ structure - limited to one storey.
“The vast majority of garden buildings, such as a summerhouse, come under ‘permitted development’ and therefore do not require planning permission.”
Companies that sell summerhouses will be able to advise you with regards to whether the structure that you are looking to buy will come under ‘permitted development’ or not…
A conversation with your local planning office can be a good route to go down, too…
