Garden annexes in Isleworth

Homeowners in Isleworth can get garden annexes from one company: the design, the paperwork and the building work sit with us rather than with three separate firms.

Covering Isleworth

Alongside Isleworth, we also cover Hounslow, Heston (2 miles to the west) and Richmond.

Homes in London

London projects often mean working on period terraces with neighbours on both sides, tight access through the house and conservation area controls, so careful planning and party wall work matter as much as the build.

What is a garden annexe?

A garden annexe is a separate single-storey building in the grounds of a house with its own bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette, used by family members as part of the main household. Unlike a garden office, an annexe that people sleep in normally needs planning permission and full building regulations approval.

  • Design and planning application
  • Brick, block or timber-frame structure
  • Kitchenette and shower room

Do you need permission for a garden annexe in Isleworth?

In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.

A self-contained annexe used for sleeping and living normally needs planning permission in England.

What should I think about before starting?

  • Drainage may need a pump if the garden falls away from the sewer.
  • Council tax treatment depends on who lives there; check with your council.
