Do I Need Planning?

In many cases, you won’t need planning permission to build a garden room, as most fall under permitted development rights. However, there are specific rules regarding size, height, placement, and use that must be met to avoid requiring a formal application. For example, buildings within 2 metres of a boundary must be under 2.5 metres high, and the room cannot be used as self-contained living accommodation. If your property is in a conservation area, is listed, or within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), different rules may apply.

At MBE Group, we’ll assess your site, advise on whether planning is needed, and manage the entire process for you if it is—making your experience hassle-free from start to finish.

Our Process

At MBE Group, our process is carefully structured to deliver a seamless, collaborative, and fully tailored experience from beginning to end. If your project does not require planning permission, stages 4 & 5 do not apply. For projects that do require planning approval, all of the steps outlined below will be included.

1. Consultation

Our consultation process is the first step in bringing your garden room vision to life. During this stage, we take the time to understand your needs, preferences, and how you intend to use the space—whether it’s for work, relaxation, or guest accommodation. We’ll discuss design ideas, budget, and practical considerations such as size, location, and access. Our team will also advise on planning requirements, utilities, and materials.

2. Survey

If not completed during the consultation our team conducts a comprehensive site survey to gather all the necessary measurements and assess the specific conditions of your garden. This includes checking access routes, ground levels, drainage, and any potential obstacles that could affect the installation. The survey also allows us to confirm the proposed location of your garden room and ensure it complies with planning regulations or permitted development rights.

3. Design & Estimate

We provide detailed architectural plans and high-quality 3D renders to help you fully visualise your new garden room and make changes until final design is agreed. Our 3D renders offer a realistic representation of the finished space, including materials, lighting, and surrounding landscaping—giving you a true sense of scale, style, and functionality. At this stage we will provide you with an estimate that can be turned into an official quotation if you wish to proceed.

(No Charge)

4. Plans & Elevations - £1000

MBE Group provides detailed elevation drawings and site plans tailored for submission to your local authority. These documents include scaled representations of the garden room from all sides, clearly showing dimensions, rooflines, window and door placements, and external finishes. The site plan outlines the garden room’s proposed location within your property boundary, distances to existing structures, and overall layout in context.

5. Planning & Specialists

When planning permission is required, MBE Group handles the entire process on your behalf—from preparing and submitting applications to liaising with local planning officers. Our team has extensive experience navigating planning regulations, ensuring your proposal complies with all local requirements. Where necessary, we also collaborate with trusted specialists such as structural engineers, drainage consultants, and energy assessors to provide supporting documentation or technical reports if required (may be additional costs involved).

6. Singed Quotation & Deposit

Once the final design has been approved and all planning considerations are complete (if applicable), we will issue a detailed quotation outlining the full scope of work, specifications, and pricing. To secure your place in our schedule and begin preparations, we require a signed acceptance of the quotation along with an initial deposit. This deposit confirms your commitment and allows us to begin ordering materials, scheduling labour, and coordinating timelines. At MBE Group, this step ensures transparency, commitment, and a smooth transition from planning to build.

7. Build

With designs approved, planning complete, and your project scheduled, the build phase begins. Our experienced team of tradespeople will carry out the construction of your garden room with precision, care, and attention to detail. From groundworks and structural framing to insulation, cladding, and internal finishes, every stage is managed to the highest standard. We ensure all electrical, plumbing, and utility installations are safely completed by certified professionals. Throughout the build, our project manager will keep you informed, oversee progress, and ensure the work is completed on time and to specification—delivering a high-quality, turnkey garden room ready for you to enjoy.

8. Inspection & Final Invoice

Once the build is complete, we carry out a thorough final inspection to ensure every aspect of your garden room meets our high standards and your expectations. We’ll walk you through the finished space, check that all fixtures and finishes are complete, and confirm that everything is fully functional. Any final touches or snagging items are addressed promptly. Once you’re fully satisfied, we will issue the final invoice for the remaining balance. This final step marks the successful handover of your bespoke garden room—ready for immediate use.
