Proposal

We would like to build (under permitted development) a garden room in our rear garden. It will have the following dimensions: Width up to 4.5m; Depth up to 3.6m; height no more than 2.5m; external footprint 16.2m; internal 14.5m sq. It will be south facing and have a french door with one standard window (1.2 x 1m) either side of the french doors. It will be of a grey colour to match the external windows of the main property. The new garden room will be located over 1m from the boundary with our neighbour (No3 Downlands Rd) to to the west side of our property. Roof drainage will be be means of guttering to the ground. This building will actually replace a large wooden playhouse in the same location which is approaximately half the size of the proposed garden room and 2.5m in height. No new access is required and no other changes to any part of the property will be needed

What a grant of permission means

The process from here

Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.

Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.

About lawful development applications

How this application type works

A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.
