Planning permissions for garden cabins
For garden cabins in most cases, you will not need to obtain planning permission providing the following criteria are met:If it is for your own use the following should help:Planning permissions depends on the type of use the land is for. If you do not have a house on the land then you might want to check with your local council. If there is a house on the land then following applies: For garden buildings planning permission is not required provided:
- It is not closer to the road than your house
- It does not cover more than half the area of the garden
- It is not more than 4m high
- It is for the sole use of the house occupants
- Your house is not a listed building
Legal Planning Definition for Caravans in the Garden
A caravan (as defined in s.29 of the Caravan Sites & Control of Development) may be parked temporarily (in the same manner as a car) within the curtilage of a domestic property without the need for planning permission, unless there are limiting conditions applied when the house was built. This is more commonplace in modern housing estates.*
A caravan may also be used in a manner ancillary to the residential property; that is, in addition to the use of the house, but not as someone's separate dwelling. You can use a caravan as, say, a granny annex, but it must not become someone's "only or main residence". There must remain a relationship between the caravan and the house, so, for example, meals could be taken in the house. Use the caravan simply in the manner of an extra room / bedroom. Make sure it remains moveable.*Check to make sure your property deeds do not restrict this permitted development right; particularly on more modern estates or where the council has issued an Article 4 Direction – common in Conservation Areas.
Contacting the Council…
We suggest in the first instance, if appropriate to your situation, you write a letter like the one below to the Council. They will hopefully write back confirming planning isn't required. We then suggest, armed with this reply, you go back to the Council and apply for a Certificate of Lawful Development for a Caravan. Example letter one...
Dear Sirs,
I am writing to inform you of my intention to site a caravan in my garden at (your address).
I understand that I do not need planning permission for this but thought it advisable to check before proceeding.
The caravan will be sited in the actual grounds of the house and will be used by family members and guests in addition to the use of the main house. As an extra bedroom / dayroom it will fall within the primary use of the dwelling house.
The caravan will not be separately metered and relies on the services from the main house. The caravan will be positioned in the curtilage of the building i.e. the garden, not in surrounding paddocks or farmland.
The caravan will be used in a manner ancillary to the main property. It is not someone’s separate dwelling. Guests or family members who stay in the caravan can have meals and store belongings in the main residence and will use the caravan only for occasional sleeping purposes and daytime activities. Any use of the caravan will vitally depend on a connection with the main house.
I look forward to your reply.
Many Thanks, (name).
