Hi all.
I live a a converted flat which is 1 of 4. All three other flats have a garage and now i would like to build one. I am in the trade but just need some advise.
I already have the footprint of the garage which is currently 2 lean too sheds with polycarb roofs. The sheds are 2-3ft below the street level.
I want to remove the sheds and build the garage using block and beam to have a 2-3ft crawl space / storage space and then have the garage above.
The garage will be right next to another garage of similar make up ie crawl space underneath.
Only issue i see is the party wall between the garages and digging foundations next to the party wall to carry the block and beams
The garage will be about 3.5 x 5.
I am also in a conservation area. Shouldn't be a problem as i am the only flat not to have a garage.
The garage will look identical to the other 3. nothing fancy or different.
Regarding plans. Do i have to get a local architect or can i measure up and get one done online ?
Would i need building control ?
Is there any advice or pointers you could give me. Anything would be helpful.
Thankyou
