In short, yes, you can have a toilet and shower in your garden office. A garden office can be built without having to apply to the local planning authority in Buckinghamshire for permission; however, when you begin to consider including additional extras such as a toilet or shower room in the garden office, you may need planning permission. It is a popular question that more people are asking because they consider it to be a way of making their workspace more adaptable both now and in the future. A garden office with a toilet and shower will increase the cost of a project, in some cases significantly. A cold-water supply requires two separate sets of pipes, one for freshwater and the other to remove waste, laid below ground. They can be connected to an existing main water supply and sewerage system, which would need considerable groundwork and must comply with building regulations, something Garden Room Sanctuary is happy to advise on. If a connection can’t be made nearby, then a dry or eco-toilet is an alternative solution; they dispose of water waste into a soakaway while the rest is collected separately before being composted or removed. It is important though to consider how the latter will be done. We conduct a site survey at your property in Buckinghamshire once an order has been placed that looks at your garden and its surrounding area, and as part of that, we can consider an appropriate proposal.
