Design Designed Outbuildings

An outbuilding provides you with the perfect space for your very own sanctuary whether you are looking for an office area, a gym or a workshop, it provides you the perfect space to escape your house. At Design Designed, your personal designer will create the space that suits you. 

​Permitted Development allows home owners to create an outbuilding of no more than 50% of your garden curtilage and in most instances, achieve exactly what they are looking for from their project without the need for planning permission. Outbuildings larger than 30m are required to meet building regulations for construction. The size of outbuilding is set by the Government through their Permitted Development Technical Guidance and we have specialised in optimising these regulations to deliver your perfect project. And even if we discover that your desired outbuilding may exceed the regulations, there is nowhere better to go as we have unparalleled planning knowledge.

At Design Designed:

We like to accurately measure your plot, as it's not possible design and plan an outbuilding reliably and cost effectively without knowing where you start. We produce accurate as existing drawings of your property and are required in your Planning Application.

Your personal designer will undertake a detailed design brief with you where we will discover everything you are looking to achieve from your rear outbuilding. They will design one or two concepts from your brief  to create bespoke architectural drawings tailored for you to deliver your perfect space.

 

We provide you with the highest quality floor plans, elevations and 3D views as seen in our videos and rendered images to give you a full understanding of materials and finishes to the outside of your outbuilding. You'll be able to see exactly what it looks like in real life before it is built!

Your personal designer will then tailor the concepts to create your perfect design!

We understand that this process is difficult and decisions are hard, however, your personal designer will always be there to aid you and be able to draw recommendations from their architectural and local planning experience. 

Through following our architectural plan of works and with unlimited design revisions, we will create your perfect outbuilding and once achieved, we will obtain a Lawful Development Certificate or if it is required, planning permission. You are now ready to build!

 

Legally, outbuildings are exempt from building regulations, however, in most instances you will still need specialists to ensure the build quality. We have vetted chartered structural engineers, drainage experts, land surveyors and any other potential third party specialists that could be required in the signing off of your project.

This process will leave you in the best possible position going into the construction phase, providing your builder with everything they require. 

Through reading this, we hope you are as excited to start your project today as we are! Please fill out our Contact Us form below, where we can start your project as soon as possible or feel free to call in where you can speak to one of our specialists for any information you require. 

Permitted Development is here for your outbuilding.
