Garden annexes offer several advantages over traditional house extensions:

• No Need for Planning Permission: Often, garden annexes are classified as outbuildings, meaning they don’t always require planning permission (subject to certain conditions).
  
  
• Cost-Effective: Generally cheaper to build than a traditional extension.
  
  
• Faster Build: Garden annexes can be completed in a matter of weeks rather than months.
  
  
• Separate Space: Ideal for home offices, guest accommodation, or independent living spaces.
  
  
• Minimal Disruption: Since the construction is in your garden, it usually causes less disruption to your main home.

Planning permission for a garden annexe depends on several factors:

• Size: If the annexe exceeds certain size thresholds, you may need permission.
  
  
• Location: If the annexe is located near boundaries or in a conservation area, permission may be required.
  
  

Use: If the annexe is intended for commercial purposes or as a separate dwelling, you may need full planning approval.
In many cases, garden annexes fall under permitted development rights, meaning planning permission may not be required. However, we will guide you through this process and handle the paperwork for you.

The time it takes to build a garden annexe can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. On average:

• Small annexes: 4-6 weeks
  
  

Larger, more complex annexes: 8-12 weeks
This includes design, preparation, construction, and final inspection. We'll provide a timeline during your consultation to give you a better idea of the expected completion date.

Yes, utilities such as water, electricity, and heating can be added to your garden annexe. Our team works with professional electricians and plumbers to ensure all utilities are correctly installed. Whether you're looking for basic electricity or full heating and plumbing, we can tailor the annex to meet your specific requirements. Adding utilities makes your garden annexe more comfortable and functional, especially for long-term use or as a living space.
