Transform Your Home with a Stylish Garden Room

Whether it’s a home office, gym, cinema room, playroom or bar, a garden room is a great addition to your home

Why work with Greenfinch?

There are certain permitted development rights for garden rooms in the UK. However, it is always worth checking that what you plan to do will comply with these rules and if not that the relevant permissions are obtained. Our team can assist with site plans and location options, planning, design and building control submissions if required.

What’s the process?

While each project is unique, the majority of projects follow the steps set out, starting with the site review, where we will inform you of the steps required and the likely timeframe. If you are interested in adding garden room then download our Garden Room Guide. This outlines the process in more detail and the likely costs.

  • Our team will review your land to identify potential sites with the best chance of gaining planning approval. We will answer all your questions regarding setup, construction challenges, and likely planning outcomes.

    We will also advise if your proposal can be built under permitted development and requirements to meet this.

    Additionally, our architects will provide an initial site design for your review.

  • The planning and design stage will be based on the findings from the site review & feasibility study.

    Your proposal will either be covered under your permitted development rights or require a householder application, we will work with you through this process to ensure your proposal is lawful.

  • In most instances, your new garden room will not require a building warrant application.

    We will check over your proposal and if Building Control approval is required we can assist you in submitting this, working alongside you and your preferred drainage/groundworks crew to get your application approved.

  • It is essential that you have all of your required planning permission and building warrant applications in place before you start work. You will need to arrange for a groundwork company to install the foundations and utility connects for your units. This can be provided by the unit manufacturer or a third party. Our team can advise you through this process if needed.

    At this point, we will leave you in the capable hands of your unit manufacturer to organise site delivery and installation.

  • “Greenfinch helped us add two modular units to our farm for holiday accommodation. We'd heard planning permission can be a nightmare, but Greenfinch made it completely stress-free. I can't praise the team's expertise enough. They made a potentially difficult process very smooth.”
