The planning rules changed on the 27th of July, and a lot of people still haven't caught up. 🏡
Garden sheds, offices and gyms: the limit went from 25m² up to 30m².
And there's a brand new one - a small detached home in the back garden, 32m² to 45m², no planning permission needed until the end of 2030.
Two very different buildings though, and they need two very different bases. We wrote up what actually goes in the ground under each one.
