Schedule 2, Part 1, Class E of the General Permitted Development Order (as amended) is the section of Planning Law in England which allows you, as an owner of a dwellinghouse, to build buildings etc incidental to the enjoyment of a dwellinghouse subject to limitations, restrictions, and conditions within that law. Above or in breach of those limitations, restrictions and conditions, then you would need a planning application for approval.
The sorts of buildings Permitted Development Class E allows for includes (but not limited to) gym, sheds, garage, kennel, swimming pool, art studio, garden summerhouse, detached pergola, garden studio office etc, all of which have a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwellinghouse.
For support on how we assess proposals as to whether they are within property owner (in this case dwellinghouse) permitted development rights, or not, please see, “Can I build without Planning Permission: property permitted development rights check” article.
