Our Garden Bar Ranges
Do you need planning permission for a garden Bar?
In most cases you don’t need planning permission for a garden bar, provided it’s being used for personal use, it is less than 2.5m tall if it’s within 2m of your boundary, and it’s not in a conservation area or a listed building.
If it’s taller than 2.5m it needs to be over 2m away from your boundary, if it’s over 3m it needs to have a dual apex roof. Anything over 4m 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.
