Can My Parents Live Permanently in a Garden Annexe?
It can be possible, but it is not automatic. Permanent occupation depends on planning consent for that use, Building Regulations and how the annexe relates to your house. We make no blanket claim that a standard layout is approved for permanent living.

Planning use
Full-time occupation by a family member is usually treated as ancillary to the main house, and consent may include conditions tying the annexe to the household.
Accessibility
Think ahead: step-free entry, an accessible shower/WC, turning space and wider doors are easier to design in from the start.
- Accessible Annexe layout available
- Tell us specific mobility needs so the layout can be checked
Comfort all year
Walls, floor and roof are insulated and glazing is double glazed. Heating and ventilation are confirmed in the specification.
Worth knowing: Planning, Building Regulations and council tax depend on your site and how the annexe will be used. Confirm with your local planning authority and building control before ordering.
