Book a visitWill it fit, and do I need planning?
Your project
Will it fit?
A consultation, your way
Talk through size, position and access with a design consultant. We can prepare a scaled drawing of your garden with your Contemporary in place.
Where your ground needs it, a site survey before installation confirms the right base.
Planning guidance
Do I need planning permission?
The Contemporary is designed to comply with permitted development in most cases. As a guide:
- Up to 2.5m high if within 2m of a boundary
- Further away: up to 3m, or 4m with a dual-pitched roof
- Not in front of the house, and no more than half the garden built on
- Sleeping or living in it needs planning permission
- The Contemporary is 2.5m high overall
Guidance only. Check the Planning Portal or your local planning authority before you build.

Amazing experience
“I had an amazing experience with this company. They built a garden room for us, and it's absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the whole process was smooth and professional. Highly recommended.”
Customer · Jan 2025★★★★★
Customised Garden Room Project
“We are very pleased we chose Crown Pavilions for our garden room project. The whole experience has been excellent from customisation of the design, quality and speed of the build and excellent communication throughout.”
Customer · Oct 2024★★★★★
What a fantastic company!
“I first met Lindsey at Altons, who had a great knowledge of the garden room I was after. I was then in touch with Stephanie who seamlessly organised the build and ground work necessary. It made the whole process so easy.”
Customer · Jul 2024What size Contemporary garden rooms are available?
From 3m × 3m up to 7.5m × 4m, giving 9–30m² of floor space. Choose your size in the selector above.
Do I need planning permission?
In most cases, no. The Contemporary is designed to comply with permitted development, though there are exceptions depending on where you live and where you build.
Will I need a base?
Yes: a concrete base or ground screws. Where your ground needs it, we carry out a site survey to assess which suits your garden, and quote groundworks separately.
Is installation included?
Yes, within 100 miles of our Oxfordshire workshops. Beyond that, a travel surcharge applies.
How long does installation take?
A typical medium-sized standard garden room (5m × 3.5m) takes approximately 2–3 weeks.
Can I use it all year round?
Yes. The insulated 150–280mm build-up and smart air conditioning, for heating, cooling and dehumidifying, are included as standard.
Can I change the interior finish?
Yes. White melamine is standard, and maple or teak acoustic panelling or white wash redwood are free upgrades.
