If you’re looking for a unique and resourceful space to utilise when working from home, garden offices are a fantastic option. For those who have excess room around the back of their home, these comfortable and focused spaces are a no-brainer – and can be surprisingly quick and easy to install should you find the right company to work with.
Despite the quality you’re paying for when you opt for garden office design and installation, a common anxiety is that your structure won’t comply with certain regulations – and this is where Fitrite enter the picture.
Consult this helpful article for all you need to know regarding the intricacies of planning permission, and you’ll be well on your way to a fully-functional garden office in no time.
Effortlessly practical, and able to be converted into a wide array of outbuildings with a touch of creativity and direction, outbuildings and cabins are a great addition for those with extra garden room.
Having grown more and more popular in recent years, these made-to-measure structures are an easy, cost-effective and high-quality way to add extra space.
As they’re situated away from your main building, garden offices are often recognised as being easier to work from, not to mention quieter. Modern and unique, keep yourself organised, save money and create yourself that dream office you’ve always wanted, separating your working life and your family life – all within the same home and without the commute.
Knowing exactly what you want for your Fitrite garden office is simply the first step, and depending on several factors, you may well encounter trouble if you don’t organise in advance. Planning permission should be considered before you press ahead, and to break it down, this simply refers to the approval granted by local authorities if you wish to build something on their land.
Backed by the 1948 Town and Country Planning Act, planning permission is needed for changes defined as ‘developments’ and this could include building works, demolition, or even changes of use to existing buildings.
If in any doubt whatsoever, it’s always best to contact your local planning department before you proceed. If you go ahead with a project that requires planning permission without first gaining consent, you may even be forced to demolish any building works as a result.
Aside from dedicated office spaces, we’re seeing more and more people turn towards their exterior garden for recreational rooms, home gyms and more, with Fitrite at the forefront of such projects in the North, East, South, and West of the UK.
Crafted from a steel structural frame and FSC®-certified Upvc cladding, all of our permitted development garden rooms are built using high energy efficient building materials to create a warm, dry space for you to enjoy all year.
Sturdy and viable for the long-term, utilising a steel structure adds structural integrity to our outbuildings, meaning they won’t rot, warp, split, crack or creep, failing to expand or contract when intrusive moisture enters.
On the visual side of things, with the ability to customise your garden room to suit your style and needs, Fitrite’s installations become a unique and practical addition that maximise your outdoor space.
