Hello,
We are moving house soon and the new house has a derelict double garage that will need demolishing and replacing. We are planning a traditional single skin block and rendered garage, with a with tiled rood.
The Council have advised that the new garage will require planning permission due to its position relative to the house.
We are aware that if the size of the garage is kept to under 30sq metres floor area it will not be subject to building regs control. However, we were wondering what would be the difference in requirements and costs if we go beyond 30 sq metres and build to building regs compared to keeping it below 30 sq metres and avoiding the regs?
Also, we we thinking of using these people to draw up the plans for our planning application, http://www.garage-design-plans.co.uk/Double_garage.php
Is that a reasonable approach?
