Delivery and installation in Tamworth

Every building we sell is made to order and delivered direct from the manufacturer. What's included depends on the range:

• Ex-display buildings: free delivery and installation within 50 miles of Buzzards Valley, which covers all of Tamworth. See our ex-display buildings – you can view the exact building first.
• Log cabins: free delivery. The cabin arrives on a pallet and is lifted off by HIAB crane onto your kerbside, ready for you (or an installer) to build.
• Lifelong steel and Sovereign buildings (including Vista garden rooms and Coppice greenhouses): installation included.
• Beeston concrete garages and stores: installed as standard across our local Midlands area.
• Power Sheds and Elite greenhouses: kits. We can help you book an approved Power Sheds installer; Elite can be installed by Glorious Greenhouses.

Much of Tamworth was built from the 1960s onwards, when the town grew to take new homes from Birmingham. On many estates the only way into the back garden is a side gate or a shared rear path. Measure the narrowest point and tell us when we call to confirm your order, so we can check the largest panel will fit through.

Planning permission in Tamworth

Most sheds, greenhouses and garden rooms don't need planning permission if they follow the permitted development rules – single storey, not in front of the house, and no more than 2.5m high within 2m of a boundary. Our planning permission guide explains the rules in full.

For most Tamworth homes the local planning authority is Tamworth Borough Council. The borough has seven conservation areas: Tamworth Town, Hospital Street, Albert Road/Victoria Street, Amington Green, Amington Hall Estate, Dosthill and Wilnecote. Several of these also have Article 4 Directions, which take away some permitted development rights, so if you live in one, check with the council before you order.

One local quirk: some addresses with a Tamworth postcode, including Fazeley, Hopwas and Drayton Bassett, are actually in Lichfield District, and each of those villages has its own conservation area. If you're not sure which council covers you, look at who sends your council tax bill.

Which buildings suit Tamworth gardens?

Tamworth gardens vary a lot, but a few rules of thumb help:

• Smaller gardens: a pent-roof shed tucks neatly against a fence, and a corner shed uses a spot that's otherwise wasted. Lean-to greenhouses fix against a wall or fence. Browse garden sheds and greenhouses.
• Somewhere to work or relax: a log cabin or an insulated Vista garden room. If it will sit within 2m of a boundary, choose one under 2.5m high.
• Bikes and tools: a steel shed needs no treating and is installed for you.

Not sure which way to go? Our comparison guides help: log cabin vs garden room vs SIPS and timber vs metal vs concrete.
