Size Thresholds

Garden Height Limits

Utility Connections

Local Authority Checks

Exemptions often apply to structures under a specific footprint, typically 25 square metres for garden rooms or offices.

Maximum height restrictions apply, ensuring new structures do not overshadow neighboring properties or exceed local guidelines.

The nature of utility connections (e.g., plumbing, drainage) can influence whether planning permission is required.

Always confirm specific requirements with your local council, as rules can vary slightly by region and site.

Your Project, Your Path

Exempt Development or Full Application?

Many smaller Luka Nest units, such as garden offices or studios, can qualify as 'exempt development.' This means you may not need full planning permission, significantly streamlining your project timeline.

For larger modular homes designed as primary residences, a full planning application is typically required. Our team provides comprehensive support throughout this process, from initial consultation to submission.
