Read More »Is log cabin planning permission even necessary? There are plenty of good reasons a log cabin deserves a spot in your garden. But your local authority may think otherwise if they issue no approval. Cue planning permission. Gaining one means getting the consent of the Council to move ahead with the development. So before investing, check whether any building rules apply. You don’t want to buy (or even build) a cabin only to find it doesn’t meet the requirements. Even worse, you need to demolish it! In this log cabin planning permission guide, we’ll answer all your questions. Key takeaways: Planning permission can vary by area, so it’s best to check with your local council.

If it fits in your garden, it should count as ‘permitted development’. UK Planning Permissions (Image Credit: Flickr) Generally, planning permissions are permitted development rights. It’s like asking if you can build a specific structure on the land – in the garden, in your case. It can either be granted, possibly subject to certain conditions, or get refused. The Local Planning Authority (LPA) will be the one to provide you with the formal document. LPAs are usually the local district or city council. Most have their own website that allows the public to access application forms. It’s always best to contact your LPA to get a legal process or ask if it’s necessary. Permitted development explained Your log cabin may not need a planning permit if it falls under ‘permitted development’.

Otherwise, apply for a permit, and then you’ll also need building regulations approval. Requirements for planning may vary depending on your council’s planning department. Building Without Planning Say you decide to go ahead and build a structure without planning. And you later find out you need planning permission, and an ‘enforcement notice’ awaits you at the door. This would mean you’d have to undo all changes made to your garden and log cabin. Better yet, find your local council and get them to outline planning permission in your area if need be. This guide can give you an overview of most cases. Suppose you invested in a pent-log cabin just like our very own BillyOh Fraya, you won’t have any restrictions.
