Hi guys,
This is my first post so please go easy, I paid my local council for planning advice to erect a double garage at the front of my house. We have plenty of land for it to go and with the bushing and fencing around it wouldn't actually be seen from the road (none of the neighbours have any issue).
The dimensions of the garage would mean if it was in the back garden I wouldn't even need planning permission (under 30sqm, 2.5m high).
The planning advice people came back with very unhelpful information and their objections to it seemed very irrelevant to what was being presented.
I will upload pictures of the street and plans tomorrow so everyone can see what I'm trying to do.
Nevertheless something sprang to mind after doing some reading and I can only think the reason they are saying no to supporting it is because I may one day try to turn it into a dwelling. The current proposal is for a prefab concrete style garage that matches the surrounding buildings so it dose add up even though they haven't said that directly. One alternative they have said they may support is something open ended (i.e. car port) which to the space used and street scene view would be no different.
Now I don't actually care what the garage is made out of, as long as its something I can lock the cars away of a night.
Anyone know of something alternative that means it couldn't ever be converted to a dwelling in the future which I could put forward to null that objection?
Thanks for taking the time to read.
