Do you need planning permission for a garden log cabin?

Wondering what size log cabin you can build without planning permission? When it comes to garden log cabins in the UK, size does matter, especially in relation to your outdoor area. If you have plenty of space available, chances are you can get a larger log cabin. If you want to avoid requiring planning permission, you need to ensure that your cabin is single-storey, doesn’t take up more than 50% of your free space, doesn’t have verandas, balconies, or raised platforms that exceed 0.3m in height. When placed closer than 2 meters of a boundary, your cabin shouldn’t be taller than 2.5 meters and you can’t install it further forward than your main house. If you are searching for ‘log cabins near me’ that don’t require planning permission, check out our special category ‘cabins that are less than 2.5 m’. Quick Tip: All the log cabins available in our shop have been designed with the aforementioned restrictions in mind.

Can you legally live in a log cabin permanently?

Yes, you can live in a log cabin permanently in the UK as long as you obtain the necessary planning permissions. Our products can be used as home extensions as long as they are equipped with insulation and heating systems.

What wood are log cabins made of?

Our log cabins are made of slow-grown Nordic spruce harvested from forests that are managed sustainably. Nordic spruce comes with many benefits. It is a slow-growing type of timber, which means that the grain is extremely tight. Therefore, there will be no bending, warping, or twisting over time. Nordic spruce is an ideal material for log cabins because it is straighter, stronger and sturdier than southern spruce and softer woods, which grow faster, have a loose grain, have rough ends and profiles, and tend to lead to a lot of problems in the long run.

Are log cabins warm in winter?

Yes, log cabins are warm in winter when they are equipped with a roof, floor, and wall insulation, and with a heating system.

How much does a log cabin cost?

Our log cabin costs between £2,000.00 and £60,000.00 and the prices of a log cabin vary based on size, design, wall thickness, and number of windows and doors.

Is it cheaper to buy or build a log cabin?

Building a log cabin can be cheaper if you own the necessary tools and equipment and if you have woodworking experience. By building a log cabin from scratch you might be able to save some money but you should be prepared to put in a lot of time and effort. We offer high-quality cabins at low prices and most of our cabin kits can be installed by two people in just a few days.
