Planning permission for a log cabin

Question

Do I need planning permission to have a log cabin constructed? And if so, what is involved in the process? Does permitted development depend on factors such as the scale and type of log cabin? Thanks for your time.

Bit of a grey area on this one, permitted development is a bit of a grey area on this one I have knowledge of what you require but can't disclose on jobquote unfortunately

Frank · Answer

I've built quite a few, never had to have any permission depending how big and how far away from the house, and if done in timber no problem.

Anghel · Answer

Not as far as I know, but you can submit an online proposal to the local authority and ask

Kelly · Answer

Most log cabins and garden rooms fall well within building regulations, so there's usually no planning permission needed. The only reasons planning may be required are if it's above 2.5m at the highest point, close to a house or border, or if it's in a protected area.

James · Answer

There is a maximum size before building regs get involved

Satpal · Answer

It depends on the size of the cabin if it's in the back of the garden like a shed you don't need permission but have to ring building regulations about what you are doing.

Darnel · Answer

Residential log cabins will need planning permission before construction. Unless you can find a piece of land with planning permission attached. Otherwise, you'll need to apply for a building permit. You'll then also need building regulations approval.

Depending on size and height and if there will be drainage needed say a w/c you will have to have a building inspector IE  dss district surveyor. 
Best bet ring council to the information.
