Permitted Development allows home owners to create a permitted development outbuilding of no more than 50% of your garden curtilage and in most instances, achieve exactly what they are looking for from their project without the need for planning permission.
Outbuildings larger than 30m are required to meet building regulations for construction. The size of outbuilding is set by the Government through their Permitted Development Technical Guidance and we have specialised in optimising these regulations to deliver your perfect outbuilding. And even if we discover that your desired outbuilding will exceed these regulations, then you've come to the right place as our specialists have extensive knowledge in small outbuildings too.

How we will bring your permitted development outbuilding to life
We like to accurately measure your plot, as it's not possible design and plan an outbuilding reliably and cost effectively without knowing where you start. We produce accurate as existing drawings of your property and are required in your Lawful Development Certificate.
Your personal designer will undertake a detailed design brief with you where we will discover everything you are looking to achieve from your rear outbuilding. They will design one or two concepts from your brief to create bespoke architectural drawings tailored for you to deliver your perfect space.
We provide you with the highest quality floor plans, elevations and 3D views as seen in our videos and rendered images to give you a full understanding of materials and finishes to the outside of your outbuilding. You'll be able to see exactly what it looks like in real life before it is built!
Your personal designer will then tailor the concepts to create your perfect design!
We understand that this process is difficult and decisions are hard, however, your personal designer will always be there to aid you and be able to draw recommendations from their architectural and local planning experience.
Through following our architectural plan of works and with unlimited design revisions, we will create your perfect outbuilding and once achieved, we will obtain a Lawful Development Certificate or if it is required, planning permission. You are now ready to build!
Legally, outbuildings are exempt from building regulations, however, in most instances you will still need specialists to ensure the build quality. We have vetted chartered structural engineers, drainage experts, land surveyors and any other potential third party specialists that could be required in the signing off of your project.
This process will leave you in the best possible position going into the construction phase, providing your builder with everything they require.
