What are garden Offices?

Garden offices are detached, purpose-built structures located within the grounds of a property, designed specifically for use as a dedicated workspace. They are typically situated in the garden, providing a separate environment for work-related activities outside of the main living space.

By investing in a garden office, you can experience increased productivity and focus, as this serene setting eliminates distractions typically found within the home. Not only does a garden office contribute to improved mental well-being by offering a better work-life balance, but it also promotes eco-friendly practices through reduced commuting and energy consumption.

Furthermore, the addition of a garden office can increase the overall value of your property, making it a worthwhile investment for the future. Embrace the opportunity to work amidst the beauty and serenity of nature, and elevate your work experience with a garden office room.

Benefits of Having Garden Offices

Garden offices offer numerous benefits, including increased productivity and enhanced work-life balance. By providing a dedicated workspace away from household distractions, you can focus more effectively on your tasks. Additionally, a garden office encourages eco-friendly work practices by reducing the need for commuting, saving both time and resources.

Another advantage of a garden office is the potential to boost your property’s value. The addition of a functional and attractive outdoor workspace is an appealing feature for potential buyers. Furthermore, garden offices offer versatile use possibilities, allowing them to adapt to your evolving needs, whether as an office, studio, or workshop.

Lastly, a garden office promotes a healthier lifestyle by integrating the beauty of nature into your daily routine. Working in a serene, natural setting can help reduce stress and inspire creativity. As a result, a garden office not only benefits your professional life but also contributes to your overall well-being.

Our garden studio needed to have enough height to comfortably fit an exercise pole, so having a pitched roof was a key requirement. We also wanted to have a wooden construction so this ruled out suppliers offering a steel framed building. Createspace were not only competitive, but the different options were clearly presented from the outset - ensuring that the final design and specification met our precise requirements. Communication was excellent throughout the build programme and the studio was completed within the agreed timeframe. We are delighted with the finished product, the careful attention to detail and the overall build quality. Our thanks go to the Createspace team for a job very well done!

Where to start? Well maybe by saying that generally I hate having trades people working in the house. But working with Luke and the team from Create Space was totally different. They recently managed a kitchen renovation project for us and they could not have been more professional. Luke over saw the project with enthusiasm, great service standards and total integrity. The team who worked on site were all respectful, friendly and very good at their jobs. The project was delivered pretty much on time, on budget and to a great standard. We are thrilled with the finished project and would high recommend Create Space to anyone looking for a great team to deliver a fab project.

I can’t praise Luke and his entire team more. They were extremely efficient, professional, helpful and arrived everyday on time despite the biblical rain and freezing snow we had in December. Our garden room with en-suite and garden store looks amazing and because it replaced our old garage we haven’t lost any of our garden!! Really really pleased, I would thoroughly recommend Createspace Garden Rooms.

Luke and his team are second to none. Createspace were able to take the sketch drawings I prepared and transform them into a fantastic studio and storage space. Oli, Kev, Max and Tom were a joy to have on site and nothing was ever too much trouble. The other trades, including the electrical contractors and plasterers were also very polite and the work was of high quality. Createspace went above and beyond to build a totally bespoke garden room. At my request, they were able to detail the structure exactly how I had imagined and I couldn't be happier with the result. You will not be disappointed if you use Createspace and I would not hesitate in recommending them. Thanks again to Luke and the team.

Luke and all of his team at Createspace were great to work with - totally professional, friendly and respectful throughout the build (and so sweet towards our dog!). From the first meeting, we found Luke to be trustworthy, knowledgeable and proud of his craft. He was flexible with our (slightly unusual) requests and we are very happy with the end result. It was a fair price for a very well-crafted garden room. It also super well-insulated and warm.

Luke and the team were fantastic from start to finish. Really nice and friendly and helpful. We told Luke what we wanted and he had some good ideas. They built it from scratch and the design and finish was top quality. We are over the moon with our garden room and thoroughly recommend Luke and his business to anyone.

Luke and the team did an amazing job and made a dream come true when they created an art studio for me in our garden. Luke was very flexible in making the design bespoke for the budget and the slightly small space to work in. I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of all involved, with the work completed to a very high standard, on time and to budget. I'm absolutely delighted with my new work space, it's a complete joy to use. Thank you.

Why have garden offices?

MOST GARDEN OFFICES UNDER 2.5M HIGH IN BRIGHTON DO NOT NEED PLANNING PERMISSION

To be considered “permitted development”, and not require planning permission, the garden office needs to be:

  • Placed less than 2m from the boundary of the property 
  • The maximum overall height should not exceed 2.5m from ground level 
  • Has an internal floor area of less than 30m

If you meet these criteria then garden offices are generally exempt from planning and building regulations. With our bespoke garden room designs we can help you get the most out of the space you have for your dream room.

If you plan on using your garden office as regular sleeping accommodation however you will need planning permission. This is because any sleep accommodation is required to meet building regulations.

WHEN WOULD I NEED PLANNING in Brighton?

Planning Permission Garden studios

You would also need planning if your garden office stands in front of your house facing the main road, if it takes up more than half the land around the original house, or if it’s built on the property of a listed building or conservation area. 

If you are not sure of the requirements in Brighton apply to your office build, or would like some more detailed advice we recommend you take a look at the government’s online planning portal.

Planning permission for garden offices in Brighton is an important step to consider when looking to build a new structure in your garden. Before you begin the process, it’s important to find out if you need planning permission from the local authority and what other requirements may be necessary.

Generally speaking, if your office will be higher than two metres, it’s likely that planning permission will be required. In Brighton, this is usually done through the city council who will review all applications.
