The main factor to consider is that your annex should not occupy more than 50% of your available garden, and ideally be a maximum of 2.5 metres in height.

Yes, at Sussex Garden Rooms we can handle all aspects of the planning application – including all necessary plans, drawings and dealings with the local authority. Our planning package service costs £1,500 inc VAT.

A garden annex build period is typically 4-6 weeks from start to completion.

We predominantly use ground screw foundations but also have a pad system to enable us to build up from an existing concrete base. All foundations costs are included.
