Site & Planning Factors in Worcester
Garden room projects in Worcester need to consider plot size, proximity to boundaries and existing trees or services. Under permitted development rules, garden rooms must be single storey, no more than 2.5 metres high at the boundary, and must not cover more than 50% of the garden area. Properties near Worcester Cathedral, the River Severn may face additional restrictions — Worcester City Council can advise, and we check this as part of our initial review. Electrical supply, water and data connections are run from the main house, and we handle all trenching and connection work as part of the project.
