Residential Annexes

Residential Annexes

If you are thinking of constructing a garden building for use as a residential annexe, known by many as a ‘granny annexe’, it will be lived in on a day-to-day basis and you will need planning permission from your Local Planning Authority. If converting an existing building, it might not need full planning and we recommend a Certificate of Lawfulness.

It’s a good idea to seek professional advice when you’re starting a new construction project. This will help you avoid unnecessary expenses, disappointment and potential family upsets. Seeking advice during the early stages of your project also ensures all regulatory documents are professionally produced.
