Planning
Permission for Log Cabins
This
type of building is classified as “Permitted Development”
and usually should not require Planning Permission.
As
a general guideline, buildings under 30 square metres do not
require planning permission as long as the following criteria
is followed:
1)
Under 20 square metres, the building must be sited
at least 5m away from the main property and not between the
property and the main highway.
2)
The size of the building must not exceed 50% of the
size of the land surrounding the property.
3)
The building must not exceed a height of 4m -Our
Log Cabins not exceed 4m in height.
4)
When the building is between 20-30 square metres
there must be a space of at least 1m all round to any
adjoining property or boundary – this is not applicable our
Log Cabins but we recommend a space of at least 1m from any
boundary or obstruction in order to aid assembly.
However,
local conditions may prevail and it is always best to contact
your Local Planning Office for clarification. There may be
restrictions and covenants, such as proximity to boundaries or
other buildings, or you may live in a conservation area, and a
short phone call to your Local Planning Office will bring
peace of mind.
