Planning Disclaimer
This page provides general guidance only. Planning outcomes for tiny homes, annexes and rural sites vary by use, land status, local policy and the facts of each case, so nothing on this website should be treated as formal planning, legal or professional advice.

What This Disclaimer Means
We share honest, experience-led guidance to help you ask better questions before you spend serious money. However, planning decisions are made by the relevant authority and can depend on matters including intended use, whether the unit is ancillary or independent, site access, services, design, local constraints and supporting reports.
No guaranteed outcome
We do not promise planning permission, lawful use, permitted development status or any specific result from a consultation, feasibility review or website guidance.
Case-by-case advice
Any next steps should be confirmed with the relevant planning authority and, where needed, a qualified planning consultant, architect, surveyor or solicitor.

Why Planning Can Change
Planning position can change between sites and over time.

Local plan policy, enforcement history, access, drainage, ecology, highways matters and neighbouring impact can all affect the route.
