The only times I've seen them to succeed is where they are connected in some fashion to the house and converted to a granny flat type development.

I agree with both above.

I suppose in theory in an urban context, it might be possible! Provided the garage looked like or could be refurbished to resemble the exterior of neighbouring dwellings. But compliance with building control - insulation- could be difficult today.
