A garage can provide secure parking, extra storage or a workshop, and in many cases it can be built under Permitted Development (PD) without a full planning application — provided the relevant rules are met.
See what you could build at your home and choose the right drawing package.
Garages fall under Class E of the Permitted Development Order. The main limits are set by the garage’s height, position and overall size, with additional rules for buildings forward of the principal elevation and within conservation areas.
Your garage must comply with all of the relevant PD rules. If any single limit is exceeded, a normal planning application may be required.
A garage must be to the side or rear of the house and must not be forward of the principal elevation.
4 metres with a dual-pitched roof, 3 metres with any other roof, or 2.5 metres where any part is within 2 metres of a boundary. Eaves must not exceed 2.5 metres. Height is measured from the highest ground level immediately adjacent to the building.
The total area of ground covered by buildings must not exceed 50% of the total area of the curtilage, excluding the ground area of the original dwellinghouse.
The materials used should be of a similar appearance to the existing house or garden setting.
A detached garage providing secure parking and additional storage — built within PD limits.
A complete, builder-ready set of drawings supplied exactly as sold.
We will check your property, apply the relevant Permitted Development rules and help you configure the right design and drawing package for your home.
Permitted Development rights described on this page apply to houses in England under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015. Different planning rules apply in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This page is general guidance, not a formal planning determination — always check your own property and, where you need certainty, apply to your local planning authority for a Lawful Development Certificate.
Each one is already drawn. You choose the material, roof and options we actually draw, and that is the package you receive.
