Hi, Permitted development rights don’t start afresh with each new extension, they apply to every structure added onto the original building. So if you’ve built a large side-to-rear, it’s likely you’ve already used up most of your given allowance. This means your conservatory will most likely require a full planning application. In the event you still have some of your permitted development rights to play with, we would still recommend covering your back and applying for a Lawful Development Certificate. This documentation basically proves to both your local authority and future buyers that your build was legal at the point of construction. Essential going ahead with a second structure. Because you’ll be navigating a more intricate form of planning, we would recommend getting an architect on board for your conservatory. They’ll be able to assess whether or not you can create the structure you want with your remaining allowance, and if not, an architect’s planning support helps you avoid any of the common causes for rejection. If you’d like one of our experts to assess your future plans, we offer free consultations, which you can book here: https://resi.co.uk/advice_calls/new Hope this helps!

Judging by some of the planning application that I have seen pencil, paper and a ruler would probably be sufficient for the site plan and you can get very large scale maps from the OS that will put your site into the context of the road for the location plan.

With conservation land beyond your boundary you may need the local authority to approve your plans, although if your property is outside the CA you should be ok. But you do need to check before you invest in installation. Where I worked (housing association) we had one property in a CA which was a pain, and another opposite the CA boundary, which was easier to deal with, but the local authority always noted the presence of the CA and how our plans might impact it. Better safe than sorry when it comes to CA I’m afraid. Worth a good look at the link provided by Sonia as that may well give some clarity. Also worth chatting to your neighbours as, if I understand it correctly, your decking could be seen as overlooking their gardens? Angie

Do you need planning permission for a bespoke garden room?

For most homes in the UK, the answer to this question is no, as the permitted development regulations for outbuildings make it possible to build a bespoke garden room without first obtaining planning permission. However, the regulations govern important ingredients such as size, height, and intended use. The bespoke garden room is supposed to be ‘incidental’ to the existing home – that means it has to be adding something the home doesn’t have, such as a gym, play room, music studio or office. Adding a bedroom isn’t permitted without obtaining planning permission. Allowing somebody to sleep in your room is a different question, however, and whether that is allowed comes down to the intention — are you renting this out? Most families permit sleepovers and occasional use sleeps. The homes in the UK that do not have permitted development for outbuildings are typically either listed, in a conservation area, or have had the rights removed for some reason (usually significant previous development work). To confirm that your garden room doesn’t need planning permission, you can apply for a lawful development certificate (LDC). These aren’t compulsory, but there may be times – for example, if you sell your home – when you need a record that your garden room meets all planning rules. Apply to your local council for an LDC via the Planning Portal. To find out more about bespoke garden rooms head to www.insideoutoxford.uk.
