Extensions: These normally do require planning permission although sometimes they can come under ‘permitted development’. Even if an extension is built under Permitted Development it will still need to comply with building regulations. You can view the regulations at http://www.planningportal.gov.uk.

Studios/ Offices: These are built with the intention that they will not require planning permission. If you are in a conservation area however you should be aware that different rules apply. We recommend that you contact your local planning department and confirm that no planning permission is required for the building you want. You can look at the regulations.

Our garden buildings do not require foundations as they sit on a pre-cast concrete pad which turn sits on a compacted base. Our extensions do require foundations.

. We do not pour the foundations but can assist you in finding a local builder to do this work for you.
