Do I need planning permission for a garden room in Ireland?
Planning permission is the single biggest question every Irish garden room buyer asks. The honest answer is: most garden rooms fall under exempted development and do not need planning permission, provided they meet certain conditions on size, height, use and distance from boundaries. This page sets out the general principles — but the rules have specifics, and your own garden has specifics, so always confirm your own site conditions.
