MikeSharp01 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hi. I am just going through the work of getting started on our build, cleared the garden with the digger last week. Job one is build the garden room, which will have water, electricity and a sewer run, to occupy while the main build goes through. I guess I am just trying to avoid two lots of building control, its all in one planning permission, but I am not sure if I can submit the full details for the garden room and outline for the main build as the detailed specification and structural work for the main house is not yet complete, and probably won't be until November. On the form it looks like it has all to be there - any thoughts on best way through or is two lots of BC going to be required. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Is the garden room going to be attached to the house, or is is a seperate garden outbuilding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSharp01 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hi Dave Its separate, 12m away at the end of the garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 A garden outbuilding under 30 square metres does not need building regulations (that's the situation in Scotland, check it's the same in England) Another "get out" is if it's a portable building (e.g shed or caravan) then you can build up to nearly 100 square metres without building regulations. Strictly speaking, in both cases a drain connection does need building regs, that is all. Could you make a "temporary" drain connection and then regularise that as part of your building control when you start the house I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSharp01 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Great thoughts Dave, I will look at the the temporary connection idea, the building is 45sqM so it might trip over that one, I will check the regs in a few minutes, Many thanks.

ragg987 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 On our build we stated both home and garage in the application to BC, however we submitted the house detail initially then the garage a few months later. The inspector did not query this. Build and inspections on both were aligned apart from the garage slab which started after main house slab was complete.

PeterW Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Is it LABC or private BC..? They may treat it slightly differently due to one being commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
