With the advent of modern communications, more and more people are taking the decision to hand back the keys to their company car and swap the commute for the benefits of working from home but is the spare bedroom really conducive to a professional and productive working environment?
A light and airy office away from the drone of the washing machine and the screams of the kids will give you that vital space in which you can work productively and impress your clients.

Usually, garden rooms don't require planning permission as long as they meet specific criteria. This includes being a single story with a maximum height of 2.5 metres and must be located within two metres of a boundary.
However, different restrictions and permissions may be required if your garden room is larger, situated in a protected area or intended for business use.
Essentially, different areas have different requirements in terms of planning permissions, so we recommend checking with your local planning authority or consulting with our experts to ensure that your garden room is in compliance with all regulations.
Insulating a garden room will make it useful all year round and comfortable.
