Garden Cafe: your questions answered
How much does the Garden Cafe cost?
The Garden Cafe is quoted on request rather than from a published list price. Tell us the plot and the finish you want and we come back with a firm proposal.
How big is the Garden Cafe?
14 m² of internal floor area over single storey. Room sizes are confirmed on the floor plans.
What is included when the Garden Cafe is delivered?
Shell delivered: The factory-built house arrives on site: structural panel kit, external cladding fitted at the factory, roof covering where the model allows, windows and external doors. Delivery to Greater London included. Foundation, unloading and assembly are yours. Floor cassettes not included.
How long does the Garden Cafe take from order to handover?
Design and approval take 3–4 weeks, factory production 8–10 weeks and freight 1–2 weeks. Erection to weathertight takes 10–12 days on site, and internal fit-out under Turnkey base a further 6–10 weeks, so contract to handover is typically 4–6 months.
Does the Garden Cafe need planning permission?
Used as an office, studio or hobby room, the Garden Cafe can usually be built under permitted development without an application, provided it is single storey, within the height limits, behind the front of the house and not slept in. Anything used as sleeping accommodation needs planning permission. See the planning permission guide for the full rules.
General questions are answered on the FAQ page; planning rules on the planning permission guide.
