Outbuildings such as sheds, garages, greenhouses and some other structures like garden rooms are also considered to be permitted development. You can build a garage or outbuilding on your property without planning permission as long as it’s of a reasonable size – no higher than 4 metres. However, do bear in mind though that outbuildings cannot take up more than half of the land around the original property.

There are always exceptions so it is always best to contact your Local Planning Authority for further details of planning exemptions for outbuildings.
