Planning requirements for garden pods and space capsules can vary depending on size, location, and intended use.
We help guide customers through the key considerations to ensure their capsule is installed correctly and compliantly.
In many cases, garden pods may fall under permitted development and not require full planning permission.
This typically depends on factors such as:
• Overall size and height
• Location within the property
• Distance from boundaries
• Intended use (e.g. personal use vs rental)
• Local council rules
Planning requirements can vary between councils.
We recommend confirming requirements with your local planning authority before installation. We can provide guidance based on your site and intended use.
Our capsules are designed for year-round use and can be supplied with specifications that support UK installation standards.
Key considerations include:
• Fire-resistant materials (where applicable)
• Electrical systems installed by qualified professionals
• Insulation suitable for all seasons
• Ventilation and moisture control
Final compliance depends on installation method, site conditions, and local requirements.
Electrical and plumbing connections are completed on-site by qualified UK professionals.
This ensures:
• Safe electrical connections
• Compliance with UK standards
• Reliable long-term operation
We coordinate installation requirements but recommend customers use certified local trades where required.
We provide relevant product documentation and specifications to support delivery and installation.
Additional certification may be required depending on:
• Local council requirements
• Intended use of the capsule
• Installation method
We advise customers on what documentation is available and what may be required for their specific project.
Our aim is to make the process as clear and straightforward as possible.
