Question 1

What is a garden room?

Accepted Answer

A garden room is a versatile outdoor building that can serve as a home office, studio, gym, entertainment space, or guest room. Fully insulated and finished to a high standard, they provide year-round comfort.

Question 2

Do I need planning permission for a garden room in Northern Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Many garden rooms don't need planning permission in Northern Ireland. Under Class D of the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015, a garden room is permitted development if it is no more than 4m high, its eaves are no higher than 2.5m within 2m of the boundary, it is not forward of a road-facing front or side wall of the house, it has no veranda, decking or raised platform, and all outbuildings cover no more than 50% of the garden. There is no planning floor-area limit. Building control is separate: under Schedule 2 of the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, a garden room up to 30m² with no sleeping accommodation is exempt if it is at least 1m from the house, any road and the boundary (or built substantially of non-combustible material). Rules vary by site, so always check with your council; we advise on your specific requirements during consultation.

Question 3

Question 7

Does a garden room add value to my property in Northern Ireland?
