Ready to start your glamping empire? Eager to get on with your luxury holiday let?

In this blog, we explain everything you need to know about planning permission for holiday lets like treehouses.<\/p>\n

Planning Permission for Holiday Lets, Explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Holiday let planning permission can be a minefield. Information on the subject can be contradictory and confusing, and it\u2019s tricky to find a clear answer \u2013 the reason being, there are none! Planning permission is often a matter of degree, and the specifics of your situation will determine whether it is necessary as well as your chances of approval. Often, it depends on the type of structure your holiday let will be.<\/p>\n

Residential Property<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you want to let a room in your house, for example, and start a B&B, planning permission probably won\u2019t be required. This is because holiday lets are in the same use class as houses, and therefore don\u2019t present what is known as a \u2018material change of use\u2019. For homeowners who have a mortgage, however, you\u2019ll want to check with your lender as this may be a breach of your terms \u2013 particularly if you want to let the whole property.<\/p>\n

Existing Holiday Let<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Planning permission isn\u2019t required for properties that have previously been used as holiday lets, as long as you don\u2019t make any physical changes to the building. The land is undergoing no material change of use, in this case, and the local area and amenities are accustomed to this commercial activity.<\/p>\n

Movable Structure<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you want to start a holiday let, a movable structure typically won\u2019t require planning permission thanks to the Caravan Act. This is provided the structure doesn\u2019t require significant foundations. Types of movable structures commonly used for holiday lets include \u2013 you guessed it! \u2013 caravans, shepherd huts, and airstreams.<\/p>\n

Converted Outbuilding<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Often, converting an existing outbuilding doesn\u2019t require planning permission either. This is because it falls under your \u2018permitted development rights\u2019. The government actively encourages the diversification of farms, so landowners can feel free to convert as they please, so long as the changes are not structurally significant. Also, if the outbuilding in question is listed or in a conservation area, you should definitely check with your Local Planning Authority (LPA).<\/p>\n

New Structure <\/strong><\/h3>\n

A new structure is likely to need planning permission if it is over 4 metres tall, and so will any extensions that are at the front of a property, next to a road, or near a boundary. Extensions behind the house may fall under permitted development rights. Certain new structures don\u2019t require planning permission, though, like our Garden Pods<\/a> for example!<\/p>\n

Do You Need Planning Permission for Holiday Let Treehouses?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So, considering the above, let\u2019s return to the original question. Treehouses typically do<\/em> require planning permission. This is because they\u2019re new, non-movable structures, and they can impact your neighbours\u2019 views. If you live in a Conservation Area, National Park, or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the information you supply will need to be even more detailed to make sure the new structure doesn\u2019t have a negative impact on local heritage or biodiversity.<\/p>\n

How Long Does Planning Permission for Holiday Let Treehouses Take?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your LPA will aim to get a decision to you as quickly as possible, but it can often take a long time. For projects like treehouses, the process can take around 20-28 weeks. If the application is more complex and requires environment surveys and impact assessments, however, this increases by another 6-8 weeks.<\/p>\n
