Hi, We currently have a detached garage at the back of our property with a driveway down the side of the house. I'd like to knock down the existing garage and rebuild it on the driveway, creating extra space in the garden. I'm unsure as to whether planning would be needed and if so, how I should proceed in order to have the best chance of it being accepted. I don't really mind about the roof so would be happy with dual pitched, single pitched or flat but as the garage would be built within 1m of the boundary fence, would a flat roof mean that no planning was needed - I have read that a permitted development must be below 2.5m. I can't see any other reasons why it would need planning permission. I have never applied for Planning permission before so I am a bit wary of the process and if I could avoid it, I would like to I think.
