What does a garden annexe involve?

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.

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

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

What can affect a garden annexe?

The annexe normally has to remain part of the main household, not let as a separate home.
Council tax treatment depends on who lives there; check with your council.
