Garden Room Scout provides general planning and buying information. It is not a substitute for official planning confirmation, professional design or an agreed supplier specification.
Planning permission and permitted development
Planning rules vary by property, location, use and site circumstances. Our planning checker applies general rules and highlights issues for further investigation, but it does not issue a legal determination. Flats, maisonettes, listed buildings, designated land, Article 4 directions, planning conditions and some converted or newer properties can require different treatment.
Building regulations and technical work
Building-regulations exemptions and requirements depend on the actual building and intended use. Structural, foundation, electrical, insulation, fire-safety and drainage decisions should be checked against the project specification and, where necessary, by competent professionals or the relevant authority.
Costs and quote comparisons
Prices and package inclusions can change. A low headline price may exclude foundations, delivery, assembly, electrics, insulation, finishes or VAT. Our comparison tools help expose those differences but cannot replace the supplier’s final written quotation and contract.
Tools and estimates
Size, cost, planning and quote-comparison outputs are planning aids based on the information entered and the rules or assumptions available at the time. They cannot capture every site-specific restriction or construction detail.
Liability
We aim to make the site accurate and useful but cannot guarantee that every item is always complete, current or suitable for your project. Nothing here excludes liability where doing so would be unlawful. Subject to that qualification, use of general information and planning tools is at your own risk.
