Asking for a friend, who is considering getting into the glamping business. This would involve a number of pods and/or yurts, which would obviously be building regs exempt (as portable buildings), as well as a facilities block for toilets, showers, and perhaps laundry and basic cooking area.
if the facilities block was likewise a portable building, then it's happy days. However my friend is keen to convert an existing stone byre for this. I know that as soon as you put sleeping accommodation into a building, or it exceeds 30m2, then you are into regs territory- but what about toilet, shower, laundry, kitchen?
