Do I Need Planning Permission for a Ruby Garage?

Do You Need Planning Permission for a Ruby Garage?

In many cases, a detached garage does not require planning permission in the UK, as it can fall under permitted development. However, there are key rules around height, location, and size that must be followed.

To stay within permitted development, your garage must be positioned behind the main front wall of the house, must not cover more than 50% of the land around the property, and should be used for incidental purposes such as storage or parking rather than living space.

General Criteria

In terms of height, it must not exceed 2.5m if within 2 metres of a boundary, or 3m for a flat roof and 4m for a pitched roof if positioned further away

Height Criteria
