Due to regulations, living in a summer building all year round in the UK is not permitted. Summer buildings are designed for temporary, seasonal use and do not provide adequate insulation or facilities for year-round occupancy. Complying with local planning laws and regulations is important to ensure the safety and suitability of the living space.
In the UK, you may need planning permission for a summer house. The need for permission depends on various factors, such as the size of the structure, location, and local regulations.
You must check with your local planning authority to determine if permission is required before constructing a summer house on your property. Failure to obtain the necessary permissions can result in enforcement action, including fines and the requirement to remove the structure.
Assembling a building generally takes 1-2 days (most are done the same day), depending on the project size and how much work is needed for the foundation. Our experts will design, develop, and deliver all materials off-site to cause minimal disruption. Quick action means your structure can be installed swiftly.
