Unleash your creative side. Create space away from home where you can practice hobbies or run your own professional business. Whether it’s for music, arts or practicing yoga, we can help you build your studio space, making sure it’s perfectly suited to your needs.
Start with a blank canvas and make it your own. Make it soundproof so you don’t disturb anyone, make it possible to wash the walls if they’re covered in paint, or create a relaxing zen to meditate. Make your studio, your own.

Do you need planning permission for a garden Studio?
In most cases you don’t need planning permission for a garden studio, providing it’s being used for personal use or solo working, and it is less than 2.5m tall if it’s within 2m of your boundary.
If it’s taller than 2.5m it needs to be over 2m away from your boundary and have a dual apex roof, if it’s over 3m. Anything over 4m needs planning permission. Additionally, anything in a conservation area or on a listed property needs planning permission.
Still unsure about whether you need planning permission? Our team is happy to assist with any questions. Alternatively you can find more information on the planning portal.
