Hi all,
I've had a search and can't quite find an exact answer to my question so hoping someone can help.
Some neighbours and I are having our garages rebuilt after some storm damage recently. It's a block of 4, separate from the properties. It had to be knocked down and rebuilt.
The builders have rebuilt this using blockwork instead of brick - it was previously built using brick. We were told this would not be a problem to use blocks and then render. However it has now come to our attention that because the rest of the street is brick work, that we may potentially have some issues.
From my own research, it doesn't appear that any planning permission is required (and so block/render should be fine?) However the local authority are unable to advise me over the phone and have asked me to email in. Whilst I wait for their response, hopefully someone can give any advice.
The block of four garages is roughly 5 meters total wide. The size of the garages has not changed at all, simply the materials.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
