Log cabins manufacturer reveals planning permission rules

ORMSKIRK, U.K. - Sept. 20, 2018 - PRLog -- Planning permission rules differ dependant on circumstances. However, there are some log cabins that are designed specifically to meet planning compliant laws. This offers people the opportunity to build their own holiday home without the additional worry of planning laws.

In order for a timber building to be considered planning compliant, the cabin manufacturer claims it should abide by the following rules:

-        It must have only one storey

-        The eaves must be at a maximum height of 2.5 metres

-        The entire structure should be less than 4 metres in height with a dual pitch

-        For log cabins with a flat roof, the height must be no more than 3 metres

-        Your timber building should be constructed behind your property, not the side of it

-        Your own home should not be a listed property

For buyers to install a log cabin that can be rented out to holidaymakers, these guidelines will prove useful. Landlords will also be responsible for various health and safety laws and it will be their responsibility to provide warm and comfortable surroundings for their guests. There are some tax benefits that can also be taken advantage of.

Building a mobile caravan home

When building what is considered a mobile home on your land, this can be done without any planning approval at all, providing a couple of rules are abided by. Here's how to establish what constitutes a mobile home:

-        The structure must be within the following measurements: 20ft x 60ft

-        It must remain moveable

-        It must not be a person's sole or primary residence

To comply, owners must ensure they are not in a conservation area (advise to contact your local council if you have any doubt around this). But the most important point is that there must be some relationship between the mobile caravan and the main property. This means that you could rent out this facility as a holiday home if it is advertised as having some shared facilities; such as the bathroom or kitchen.
