Planning Permission & Regulations For Bromley Garden Buildings
Understand Local Requirements Before You Build
In most cases, our garden rooms are designed to fall under permitted development rights, meaning you won’t need formal planning permission. However, in parts of Bromley and Orpington, especially in conservation areas or for larger garden buildings, you’ll need to follow specific planning rules.
We’re here to help you navigate planning permission & regulations for Bromley garden buildings so your project moves forward smoothly.
- Check height, size, and boundary limits.
- Review building use (e.g., sleeping vs working)
- Ensure compliance with Building Regulations if needed
We take care of the red tape so you can focus on the fun stuff—design, layout, and finishing touches.
Construction Materials For Garden Rooms: What’s Best For The Planet?
We source and use sustainable building materials where possible. That includes:
- FSC-certified timber
- Composite cladding with recycled content
- Breathable, eco-friendly membranes
- Aluminium or uPVC framed energy‑efficient windows, doors & lighting
Choosing low-impact, high-performance materials ensures your structure is durable and kind to the environment.
