Granny Annexes
Frequently Asked Questions
How do dealers determine if a granny annexe qualifies as ancillary accommodation under UK planning rules?
Under UK planning, a granny annexe qualifies as ancillary accommodation when it is occupied by a member of the main dwelling household and shares the main dwelling's curtilage. The Caravan Sites Act 1968 plus SI 2006/2374 sets dimensional limits (20.0m by 6.8m) for movable structures used as ancillary accommodation. Dealers should advise end customers to verify ancillary status with their local planning authority before procurement. See construction guides for related context.
What size, layout, and service specification does Eurodita supply for granny annexe configurations?
Eurodita supplies granny annexes in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom configurations. Each kit includes wall, roof, floor, window, and door components in dealer-specified layout. Plumbing, electrical, and heating systems are supplied as separate trades on site, fitted by the dealer's contractor. Internal partitions are CNC-machined to the dealer's floor plan. See residential log cabins range for related context.
When does a granny annexe trigger Building Regulations approval in England, and how does Eurodita's structural specification support it?
England Building Regulations apply when a granny annexe is a permanent structure used as sleeping accommodation, regardless of floor area. Approved Document L (thermal) and Part B (fire safety) are the primary trigger points. Eurodita designs granny annexes to Eurocode 5 (BS EN 1995-1-1:2025) structural standards. Thermal documentation is prepared for each order to support the dealer's Building Regulations submission. See certifications for related context.
What heating, hot water, and electrical interface options does Eurodita supply for granny annexes?
Eurodita supplies the timber kit with service routing configured to the dealer's brief at order specification stage. Heating systems (electric, underfloor, air-source heat pump), hot water, and electrical wiring are fitted on site by the dealer's contractors after assembly. The kit accommodates standard UK fittings and EU service standards. Dealers should confirm service routing detail at order specification stage. See dealer resources for related context.
Can dealers configure a granny annexe with full independent occupation features?
Yes. Eurodita's granny annexes can be configured with the layout the dealer specifies at order stage, within the ancillary accommodation envelope where local planning permits. The dealer specifies partition positions, window and door openings, and service routing. Bespoke layouts run through Eurodita's standard bespoke route (4 to 8 week production). See private-label manufacturing for related context.
