Under UK Permitted Development rights, the majority of our customers do not need planning permission, provided the cabin isn\u0027t in your front garden, doesn\u0027t take up more than 50% of your total outdoor space, and isn\u0027t used as self-contained living accommodation.\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe crucial boundary rule:\u003C/strong\u003E Over our years of advising customers, the most common pitfall we see is confusion around fences. If you place your cabin within 2 metres of your property boundary, the \u003Cem\u003Eentire building\u003C/em\u003E cannot exceed 2.5m in height. If you place it further than 2m away from any boundary, it can be taller (up to 4m for an apex roof).\u003C/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EBecause we know garden space is at a premium and most people want to build near their fence lines, we specifically engineer the majority of our BillyOh log cabins to sit comfortably under the 2.5m maximum height limit.
