Does a garden room need planning permission?
Whether you need planning permission or not will all depend on "where" you wish to place the building in your garden and if you should live in an area that has been designated as a national park or similar. Providing certain criteria are met and the building is considered permitted development, you can proceed without needing permission.
You can build a garden room, a property in the garden that is less than 25 sq m in size without planning permission. But under regulations this construction cannot be used as an abode to live in full time however high spec the build and finish.
You can still have a garden building larger than 10m 2 in your garden if you wish, you would just need to obtain planning permission before you can do so.
