Garden Office Studio

Garden office studio planning
When it comes to planning your garden office studio you will need to be aware of any regulations for planning and building regulations. You will need to check the exact specifications with your council however the general rules are as follows:
-
- The total area of outhouses, sheds, including the proposed garden room does not cover more than 50% of the total are of land around your home.
- It will need to be single storey and no higher than 2.5 meters when less than 1 meter from a boundary or less than 3 meters when over 2 meters from a boundary.
With regards to building regulations the garden office studio will need to be detached from your main home as well as less than 30sqm in size.
By complying with these rules and any other localised council restrictions you can build your garden office studio without needing to go through the planning route.
Garden office studio design
When designing your garden office studio it might be worth considering the time you will spend there and the facilities required. It is possible to fit a worktop and sink for washing and serving drinks. This can be easily achieved with water run from your main home, and drainage which can be pumped back to your main drains if you do not have sufficient run back to the drains.
It is worth bearing these elements in mind when designing your garden office studio. How the garden office studio will be heated is also another factor to take into account. Electric heaters or underfloor heating can be installed so long as the insulation is sufficient.
