Dealing direct with us the manufacturer

You not only cut out the middle man, ensuring more of your money goes into the product, but you get the flexibility to alter virtually any aspect of the building design, just ask! (See a few of our custom designs)

Have it your way
Every customer is different, so we have created four window designs for you to select from. Each design comes with a different amount of doors and windows.

Should you require more windows, or perhaps a verandah, simply add the cost indicated on the price list. You can configure the building exactly how you want, to suit your garden. Speak to a member of our sales team about all the available options.

Planning consent and building regulations

In most cases you do not need planning permission to install a Phoenix garden building, providing it meets the following criteria:

Rules governing outbuildings apply to sheds, greenhouses and garages as well as other ancillary garden buildings such as swimming pool rooms, sauna cabins, gyms and many other kinds of structure for purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house.

Under new regulations that came into effect on 1st October 2008 outbuildings are now considered to be permitted development, not needing planning permission, subject to the following limits and conditions:

• No outbuilding on land forward of a wall forming the principal elevation.
• Outbuildings and garages to be single storey with a maximum eaves height of 2.5 metres and maximum overall height of 4 metres with a dual pitched roof or 3 metres for any other roof.
• Maximum height of 2.5 metres when less than 2 metres from the boundary.
• No more than half the area of land around the ‘original house’ would be covered by additions or other buildings.
• No more than 3 square metres and more than 20 metres form the house in National Parks, the Broads, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and World Heritage Sites.
• Within the cartilage of listed buildings any outbuilding will require planning permission.

The term ‘original house’ means the house as it was first built or as it stood on 1 July 1948.

These are guidelines, and if you are in any doubt about compliance you should contact your local planning authority before any work commences. For a fixed fee we can provide you with 1:50 scaled elevation and plan drawings to accompany a planning application.

If you need to apply for planning permission, but wish to place a deposit on a building in order to secure it at the quoted price, you can do so. Normally all deposits are non-refundable, but we take planning as an exception. If you place an order and then planning permission is refused, we will refund you deposit minus our administration costs.

Ground preparation, advice and drawings

We can provide all the necessary groundwork in preparation for your building. Alternatively we can supply detailed base plan drawings free of charge and consult with a local ground worker of your choice to ensure the site is prepared suitably.
