Hi,
I'm seeking guidance on planning permission requirements for our property. We've recently moved into an older house with a large garden and need to create separate work spaces as both my spouse and I work from home.
I'm concerned about inconsistent outcomes in the approval process. I've heard stories of some people installing a garden office first, then adding a shed months later without formal approval, hoping to avoid complaints.
What would be the proper approach for this project to ensure compliance while minimizing complications?
Any idea of costs to get planning?
Thank you for any insights!

I'm seeking guidance on planning permission requirements for our property. We've recently moved into an older house with a large garden and need to create separate work spaces as both my spouse and I work from home.
Our Plan:
- A 24m² Steeltech garden office (with electricity only)
- A 12m² Steeltech storage shed
- Both structures would have concrete bases
- Both would be situated at the rear of the property
- Even with these additions, we'll maintain a substantial garden area
- Our neighbors are aware of our intentions and support the proposal
My Question:
Since the combined structures exceed the 25m² exemption limit, am I correct in assuming planning permission is required?I'm concerned about inconsistent outcomes in the approval process. I've heard stories of some people installing a garden office first, then adding a shed months later without formal approval, hoping to avoid complaints.
