Hi all, I've purchased a house with an incomplete large detached garage. Planning has been approved for a 'store room' above, but I would like to make this a living space for visiting family and have had a drawing done to incorporate two double bedrooms kitchen / living area, store and shower w/c.
I'm been informed that local planners will not approve this type of development as it has been abused in the pass and that I could simply fence the garage off and sell as a separate detached dwelling.
Has anyone been in this situation before and how did you get on?
I wondered if something legal could be drawn up to state that I would not sell?
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Devs.
