Local knowledge
Otley comes under Leeds City Council, not Bradford, so any planning check goes to Leeds.
The Otley Conservation Area covers much of the historic centre. There, a garden room at the side of the house needs permission. Behind the house, the normal permitted development rules apply.
Gardens on the slopes towards the Chevin often need a levelled base, while lower ground towards the Wharfe needs good drainage under the building.
What we can help with
Insulated, powered offices you can work in all year round.
A dedicated gym space at the bottom of the garden.
Studios, hobby rooms and snugs built to suit your plot.
Proper insulation, glazing and heating for Pennine winters.

Questions
Leeds City Council. Most garden rooms behind the house need no application, but in the conservation area, or for anything over the height limits, check with Leeds first.
Yes. You never pay us. The builder pays us for introductions, and you deal with them directly for the design, quote and build.
One local garden room builder, named on the form before you send anything. We never pass your details to more than one business, and we never sell them on.
Often not. Under permitted development a single-storey garden room behind the house is usually fine if its eaves are no higher than 2.5 m and the whole building is no taller than 2.5 m within 2 m of a boundary, 3 m elsewhere, or 4 m with a dual-pitched roof. Together with other outbuildings it can't cover more than half the garden, and it can't have a raised veranda or balcony. Listed buildings, conservation areas, national parks and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules.
Not usually, if nobody sleeps in it. Under 15 m² floor area is generally exempt. From 15 to 30 m² it's exempt if it's at least 1 m from every boundary or built mostly of non-combustible materials. Over 30 m² needs approval.
Yes, but a new circuit to an outbuilding is notifiable electrical work, so it must be done by a registered electrician who certifies it. Most garden room builders arrange this as part of the job.
Not under permitted development. Sleeping accommodation needs planning permission and building regulations approval. A home office, gym, studio or hobby room is fine.
