Bespoke Oversize Garden Buildings – What You Need to Know
At Garden Seven, we believe a garden building should fit your lifestyle, your land, and even your imagination. While most UK homeowners are familiar with the planning rules for standard garden offices, when it comes to oversized or bespoke designs, the regulations — and the possibilities — change.

UK Rules at a Glance
For most residential properties, a garden building must be under 2.5m in height if it is within 2 metres of a boundary, to avoid requiring planning permission.
However, if you have a larger garden with more space, or if you are operating a glamping or camping site, the rules are different and more flexible. With the right approach, you can install taller, larger, or more creative structures that go far beyond the “box in the garden” look.
Designed Like 3D Printing
Our aluminium systems give us the freedom to design almost like 3D printing at scale. We can model, customise, and fabricate bespoke structures in parts for easy transport and assembly, or as complete ready-to-use units.
Fitting Your Environment
Whether your site is a woodland retreat, a seaside escape, or themed around local heritage or legend, we design with your environment in mind. Every curve, finish, and detail can be tailored to enhance the landscape while creating something unique for your clients.
Why This Matters
For homeowners, bespoke oversized garden rooms mean a functional, stylish extension of your living space if you have a large enough garden. For resorts, campsites, and glamping operators, it means offering guests something truly different: a building that feels designed for the place, not dropped into it.
At Garden Seven, we combine UK regulatory expertise with design freedom and advanced aluminium systems to deliver oversize garden buildings that are practical, compliant, and unforgettable.
