Do You Require Planning Permission for Garden Cabins UK?
When planning to construct a log cabin in your garden
(More info on – Log Cabin Offices), various factors determine whether planning permission is required:
- Size and Location: If your cabin is built behind or next to an existing structure and doesn’t consume more than 50% of available space, planning permission may not be required (More info on – Log Cabin Planning Permission UK). Furthermore, connecting it directly to your main building may count as an extension, which may or may not need approval depending on its size.
- Height and Proximity to Boundaries: Log cabins located within 2 metres of your land boundary should not surpass 2.5m at their highest point, while buildings with apex roofs cannot go higher than 4 metres while other roof types should not exceed 3 metres; their eaves must not reach over 2.5 metres in height.
- Designated Areas: If your property lies within an “area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,” planning permission may be necessary regardless of its size.
- Local Variations: As regulations can differ depending on your council, it’s wise to confirm what rules pertain to you before taking action.
- Residential Use: If your log cabin will serve as your permanent residence, planning permission and compliance with building regulations may be required (More info on – Residential Log Cabins – 7 Reasons to Buy).
What are the construction materials?
All Loghouse cabins feature 44-58mm thick solid pine log walls for durability along with 19mm tongue and groove floorboards. The standard spec includes wooden doors and windows with bitumen shingle roofs. Thermowood cladding and laminate flooring are popular upgrade options.
Are they easy to install?
Loghouse Factory Garden Cabins UK come as pre-cut flatpack kits for straightforward assembly. All parts are precision-made in our state-of-the-art factory. Most homeowners can construct a basic cabin with some DIY skills but we also offer a professional assembly service starting from £550. Larger cabins usually take 4-5 days to erect.
What foundation is best?
At Loghouse Factory, we recommend our specialist timber frame and block pad foundation system. Starting from £610, this provides a robust base on uneven or sloping ground and includes insulation to prevent rising damp. Concrete slabs are an alternative but are more expensive.
Can I connect electricity and plumbing?
Running electricity to power lighting and devices is quite simple. Adding plumbing for kitchens, bathrooms and drainage is possible but more complex. Electrical and plumbing work is priced on-site as an additional service.

50mm floor insulation comes as standard. Optional upgrades include 100mm roof insulation (£200+) and 100mm wall insulation (£900+) to enhance thermal performance in winter and summer.
