Building work exempt from building regulations

There are a number of classes of new buildings or extensions of existing buildings that do not need Building Regulations approval. For example:

  • garden sheds and greenhouses;
  • covered way and yards;
  • summer houses;
  • conservatories and porches;
  • domestic garages and carports.

This is subject to certain criteria on size, construction and position relative to boundaries being met.

Please note: They may need planning permission.
