Does my garden room require planning permission?Updated 3 months ago

Not usually, though there are exceptions. Our garden rooms and similar structures do not require planning permission so long as they are below certain sizes, depending on local building regulations. However, always ensure such decisions are compliant with local rules.

In Ireland, you generally do not need planning permission for a shed if it is
25 square metres or less in total area, provided it meets specific, strict criteria. It must be located at the rear or side of the house, not in front of the front wall, and must not be used for habitation or keeping animals.

If there are any doubts, feel free to give us your contact details for more tailored guidance.
