Hi All,
I’m currently looking into purchasing one of those seemingly high quality stand alone outside/garden offices and am wondering about the possibility of attaching it to the back of our house i.e. on the gable end. The idea then would be to create a door opening from the house in to the attached office/studio unit.
I was therefore wondering if anyone knows if there are any specific building regulations that one has to adhere to if doing this. Or, am I entering a minefield re this and would I be better off leaving it separate. It’s a small floor area (single story) and is therefore exempt from requiring planning approval.
Fyi the unit I’m considering is one of those Swedish garden offices as mentioned recently in the Self Build mag. A diy assembly based on the sip system.
Looking forward to hearing any comments re this.
Regards
Fran
ps I’ve nothing to do with the supplier of these, just a potential customer.
