Summer House FAQs

In most standard cases, a summer house will fall within permitted development rights and so will not require planning permission. However, we always recommend checking with your local planning office or council.

While building a summer house will not require planning permission, living in one officially as a permanent annexe does. Incidental use such as having guests stay overnight is authorised on most occasions, however permanent accommodation will require the compliance with the appropriate building regulations such as fire safety and structural integrity.

Having a steady electricity supply, in most circumstances, is allowed and can be requested as an optional extra. 

For a summer house, the best foundation depends on your ground conditions and how the space will be used. Common options include:

  • Concrete base – Strong, durable and ideal for larger or regularly used summer houses.

  • Timber frame base – A cost-effective raised option, great for uneven ground and airflow.

  • Ground screws or pads – Quick to install and ideal for sites where digging is difficult.

We can help recommend the most suitable base during your consultation or site survey, but this will have to be carried out by a separate contractor.

To keep your summer house cool in summer:

  • Add opening windows or bi-fold doors for airflow

  • Include insulation to regulate temperature

  • Use lighter exterior finishes to reflect heat

  • Fit blinds or shades to reduce sun glare

  • Position in a shaded spot, if possible

Mention cooling preferences during design so we can tailor the build accordingly.
