Answer

Can a garden room have a bathroom?

Yes, but the drainage and water supply bring building regs in and can affect permitted development.

In short

Yes, but it changes things. Adding a bathroom or shower means drainage and a water supply, which brings building regulations into play, and it can affect whether the room counts as permitted development. It is doable, and we design it properly, but it is a more involved project than a plain room.

A note

General guidance, not advice. Rules vary by site, and Article 4 directions or conditions can change what applies. Check with your local authority and the Planning Portal.
