Will You Need Planning Permission for a Timber Garage Kit?
While adding a larger structure to your property can sometimes require planning permission, a regular-sized timber garage should classify as a permitted development. While it is always worth contacting your local planning authority, single story detached buildings are almost always permitted. If you were to build one of our bespoke garages with a room above you may need to request planning permission. There are other considerations, such as if your house is a listed building, or if you border a national park. If you have any doubts, contact your local planning authority before beginning any construction project.
