    Does anyone have any advice on buying a log cabin for residential use? Companies that you might have used or just recommend. Also, I know we would need planning permission but I read somewhere that these cabin are never good enough for permission to be granted. Anyone have any knowledge on that? We are hoping to get a 2 bed one as a kinda granny flat.
    Any info would be great!
    Thanks

    Can you meet all the other provisions to provide a new dwelling, open space, off street parking, minimum distance etc

    Or are you building it out a back like a granny flat?

    We're building it out the back. We live in a detached bungalow on a quarter of an acre so we think there's plenty of room for it. We were originally thinking of building on an extension as a granny flat but now thinking the log cabin would be a lot less hassle and obviously cheaper!

    Granny flats need to be attached to the house IIRC. This mostly rules out the use of log cabins.
