2.5 m Planning Rules

If you are within 1.0m of a boundary you may face planning rules for ridge heights above 2.5m. The important thing to remember is that planning rules are no the end of the world just because you building might effect a planning rule does not mean you shouldn’t buy it because you are worried about the planning rules.

Why are some of your log cabins over 2.5 metres if this can incur planning rules?

1.    Due to the large size of some of our cabins reducing the ridge height because of planning rules, would reduce the quality of the build of the log cabin. We ensure all our log cabins are sturdy enough to last a lifetime!
2.    Log cabins are not only sturdy buildings, but beautiful buildings, we ensure that the look of our buildings is not impaired by reducing ridge heights for planning rules

I am interested in a log cabin with a ridge height higher than 2.5m but are worried about planning rules what should I do next?

1.    The best thing to do first is to check with your local council about planning rules, this can be done in a matter of minutes and you may find that you are not affected by any planning rules..
2.    If you are affected by planning rules do not worry. Many of our log cabins have the option for a planning friendly ridge height. Also if we believe that reducing the ridge height will reduce the structural integrity of our log cabin, we will not put it as an option. So you can be sure the log cabin you’re getting is of a very high quality.
3.    Planning permission can be granted with relative ease for Log Cabins higher than 2.5m. Reducing the ridge height can cause the beauty of the building to be diminished and along with the implications with the structure, most of our customers believe that waiting a few weeks for planning rules acknowledgement is worth the wait.


So there you have it do not be concerned about planning rules and certainly do not reduce the quality in order to apply to them. A bit of patience waiting for these planning rules to be passed will allow you to have a high quality log cabin that complies to all relevant planning rules.
