Do you need planning approval for log cabin houses / homes?

Frequently asked questions:

Is planning approval required?

With smaller garden cabins under six hundred square feet, these are a semi permanent structure and are unlikely to need planning approval provided the roof is not greater than four metres at the apex. Every local authority has different rules though and your should check with your council before going ahead.
