Side extension

[mistikempire]

from here you can see my neighbors garage touches, passes infact the boundary.

That is not necessarily crossing the boundary. It depends on the boundaries as shown on the land register and when the fence was installed and garage built.

I think its highly unlikely you would get a 2 story jobbie upto the boundary, given the local planning guidance

if you want to try then put in planning for what you want, but bear in mind that will be probably 10 weeks, then if its rejected you will need to reapply so thats another 10 weeks

Well at least now you can consider your options with a clearer understanding of what the planners will be looking for, if the narrow garage is a deal breaker for you then I guess that's that but there might be scope in trying your luck but that guidance is pretty clear, they have every right to refuse an application that doesn't meet the guidance but it depends if you feel lucky or sometimes what side of bed the planner rolled out and to a certain extent the competence of your agent, perhaps you can negotiate a 600mm gap if that might work, in anycase assuming you went down the route of employing someone a decent designer should make you aware of the the guidance before you appoint them. If they don't then you should question their integrity.

I think that would be my only option.

Apply for ground floor extension to the boundary and extending it to be inline with the rear of the house.

And if approved, apply for a 2nd story extension

the garage isnt wide enough to fit a car in "comfortably".

Wait, garages are for cars? Where do you keep all your junk?

We kept ours
Best decision I made. I've re-landscaped twice since building my extension.

should have put another garage door on the back and trundled the mini digger through the garage!?

So good luck to me in finding the landlord.

The neighbours might know who they pay their rent to. Or try 192.com or land registry to find owner/electoral roll details and work from there

the ones with the slanted roof (

such a bizarre detail; it looks like part of a regular semi house was destroyed and that was a temporary lash up to keep the rain out, except it was made using permanent materials

The back (kitchen) door would disagree.

I have a through garage - so I can keep my caravan and trailer in the back garden.

You may have a problem extending to the full length at the back - something about a 45 degree angle of view from your neighbours rear property and light.

ok, i think i have given up on the idea on doing a 2 story extension.
I would at least like to make my garage wider, upto the boundary.

I know many of you said to keep the side access gate, but i really do not use it, however a wide enough garage would atleast allow me to park a car inside.

My neighbours garage touches the boundary, infact surpasses abit onto myside too. So i am hoping that i would be able to get rid of the fence and extend the width of the garage to the boundary.

Thinking about it I do not think your plan may work out getting you as much as you hope, I may be wrong but i think it is supposed to be 3 bricks wide at the pier ? the short facing wall to the right on your mock up looks very thin. It should be about the same as the section above it next to the window. Have you measured it on the ground allowing for 3 bricks.

I thought that but I did the same kind of thing (not garage ) and reality and building regs were not what I envisaged with regard to a gap width
