Outbuildings Drawing Plans
Would you like a den for the kids to play in away from the house? Need a home office or exercise room? Need a functional work or hobby room?
By using the governments Permitted Development (PD) legislation, Home Extension Designs design fantastic outbuildings covering a maximum area of half of your garden area – should you need it that large! Working within other strict Government guidelines, Home Extension Designs outbuildings will provide more than enough space for so many different uses, which will not require Planning Permission, unless you’re Permitted Development (PD) rights have been removed.
For outbuildings over 30 square metres in area, you will also need Building Regulations approval, so please think very carefully of the size of building you require.
A Word of Caution
You can install a kitchen area or bathroom in new outbuildings, but not both – if you do it will be classed as a self-contained dwelling and will need Planning Permission!
Converting Outbuildings
Whatever your final need, an annexe, an office, extra living space or a utility room Home Extension Designs will produce accurate drawings for you to obtain prices from builders and we are also outbuilding conversion specialists.
Since the Government relaxed some aspects of local planning regulations in 2008, it is now possible to convert an outbuilding in your garden into a residential annexe without planning permission, as long as the building does not become an independent residence.
