Do you need planning permission for a four-bay garage in the UK?

Under UK four-bay garage planning laws, wooden garages are categorised as outbuildings. Whether you need planning permission hinges on the size of the four-bay garage you want, how high it is and where you plan to put it.

The regulations that cover outbuildings are the same as those that apply to other outside buildings like greenhouses or sheds. Most do not require permission from the local authority unless your home is a listed property or in a conservation area. For more on planning permission for a timber four-bay garage, check out our blog here.

You can comfortably fit four standard-sized cars in a four-bay garage. It also depends on the size of your cars, but people typically fit four cars in a four-bay garage. Of course, if you have a Range Rover or similar (which is common), this will limit the door space to some degree. We suggest reviewing the measurements on our garage calculator page. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give us a call on 01634 290033. 

 

We can work with whatever type of flooring you would like in your four-bay garage that is in line with the aesthetic of your home. Many clients opt for concrete or tile flooring that they have installed through a specialist company. We then install the garage on top of the flooring.
