Neighbour's Planning Surprise

[DIYBlues]

If it's a non-attached outbuilding, probably not. If it's brick construction it will be constructed of substantially non-flammable materials, and with an external size of 6 x 5.5 it is likely to be 5.6 x 5.1 or so internally which is under the 30sqm internal floor area where building regs kick in.

Hi:the plans submitted to the Council indicate that the outer wall which affects us will be a double brick layer. The garage itself will be attached to their existing garage (which is attached to ours and shares a flatroof) at the rear and attached to his bungalow along the other side.

I imagine this will require fairly substantial foundations hence my concern about the retaining wall.

Cheers.

It's pretty much like this but attached to their bungalow. Ta, Freddie. That actually looks as accurate as the plans they submitted!

Hmmm, I did wonder how Freddie managed to produce that drawing so quickly.....

Lovely neighbour has just knocked on our door, wants to make things "easy for us because we'll have to look at the garage". Husband said "Party Wall Act: phone your surveyor".
