Figures are indicative ranges from local comparables. Your surveyor will walk you through a realistic forecast for your specific garden and setup.

04 · Planning

No planning permission
required.

Under Irish exempted development rules, structures under 25 m² in a back garden don't need planning permission — provided they sit behind the main house, aren't lived in as a separate dwelling, and don't take your total garden coverage over certain limits. The Nest Studio at 15.4 m² sits comfortably inside those rules.

Planning & Development Regulations 2001 — Class 3Exempted

  • Sits behind the main houseYes
  • Not used as a separate dwellingCorrect
  • Roof height under 4 m (pitched)2.95 m

We're not solicitors. Your surveyor will confirm the exempted status for your specific property on the day.

05 · Who you'll meet

The surveyor came over on the Thursday, we had a full quote by the following Tuesday, and the pod was in the ground eight weeks later. Cleanest job we've ever had done.

06 · The questions people ask

Straightforward
answers.

A surveyor from Nolan Garden Rooms comes to 7 Beechwood Park for about thirty minutes. They measure the garden, check access for delivery, look at where services run, and answer every question you have. You get a written quote within a week. It's free and there's no pressure to proceed.
None. The consultation is free. You're under no obligation to go ahead afterwards. Most people who book a consultation take a week or two to decide — some proceed, some don't, both are fine.
Your address is on the public Eircode database. We used aerial imagery to check whether your garden had the space and orientation for a pod — it did, which is why you received the letter. We don't hold any personal information about you beyond your postal address.
No. The pod we've suggested is 15.4 m² — about 24% of your garden. You'll have 49 m² of garden left. Most people find their garden still feels like a garden.
3 working days on-site. The pod arrives on a low-loader, is craned or wheeled into position, connected to power and water if needed, and finished internally. The mess is minimal because the hard work happens in the factory first.
Of course. Thousands of people have a consultation done, sit with the idea for a few months, and come back later — or never. There's no sales pressure, no contract, no deposit until you actively decide to go ahead.
