What We Build in Esher
Every garden room is designed around your space and your needs. All types are available in Esher — fully turnkey, with a free site visit included.
Building in Esher
Esher is one of Elmbridge's most prestigious postcodes, with some of the largest private gardens in commuter Surrey. Builds here regularly run to premium specifications — Millboard cladding, bifold doors across the full front elevation, climate-controlled interiors, and bespoke proportions. The Claremont and Claygate areas have active planning histories and a few conservation area pockets worth checking.
Planning Authority
Elmbridge Borough Council
Covers the KT10 postcode area. Standard Surrey Permitted Development rules apply — most garden rooms don't need a planning application.
AONB / National Park
Parts of the Esher area — particularly towards Oxshott and the Esher/Long Ditton fringe — border the Metropolitan Green Belt. Outbuildings (including garden rooms) are still permitted under Permitted Development within the Green Belt, subject to standard footprint and height rules. We confirm your position at the site visit.

Common Questions About Garden Rooms in Esher
Do I need planning permission for a garden room in Esher?
Most garden rooms in Esher fall under Permitted Development rights and don't require a planning application — as long as the structure is single storey, no taller than 2.5m within 2m of the boundary, covers less than half the original garden, and is not forward of the principal elevation. Your local planning authority is Elmbridge Borough Council. We assess your exact position at the free site visit — for the large majority of our Esher builds, no planning application is needed.
Are there Green Belt restrictions affecting garden rooms in Esher?
Some properties on the Esher and Oxshott fringe are within the Metropolitan Green Belt. The good news: outbuildings including garden rooms are still permitted under Permitted Development within the Green Belt, subject to the same footprint and height rules as anywhere else. We confirm your exact position at the site visit — the large majority of Esher builds proceed without any planning application.
Are there conservation areas in Esher I should know about?
Yes. Esher village centre and parts of Long Ditton and Claygate village have conservation area designations. Works in these areas may need attention to materials and design. Elmbridge Borough Council has design guidance for conservation areas — we're familiar with it and can specify an appropriate build. We confirm at the site visit whether this applies to your property.
Will a garden room add value to my home in Esher?
Yes. A well-built garden room in Esher typically adds between 5% and 15% to a property's value — and for premium builds in this market, the return can be greater still. Estate agents actively use garden offices and garden rooms as a headline selling feature. Beyond the financial return, a properly insulated, electrically certified structure transforms how you use your home all year round. See our reviews from customers across Surrey.
