    I have a garage attached to my house, at the moment the garage is falling apart - flat roof construction full of holes and there is no back to the garage, it is just 3 walls..

    The garage is on the side of the house, which it goes about halfway down. (2.3m x 4.2m)

    My question is, if I was to extend this garage to the full length of the property, (2.3m*9m) would there be an issue without getting planning permission?

    The 2nd part of my question is, should I do this, is there a problem if 1/2 of the garage is used for a utility room - washing machine, dryer & storage etc.

    Thanks in advance for comments!:pac:

    You may not need planning permission if you can comply with this
    CLASS 3

    The construction, erection or placing within the curtilage of a house of any tent, awning, shade or other object, greenhouse, garage, store, shed or other similar structure.

    1. No such structure shall be constructed, erected or placed forward of the front wall of a house.

    2. The total area of such structures constructed, erected or placed within the curtilage of a house shall not, taken together with any other such structures previously constructed, erected or placed within the said curtilage, exceed 25 square metres.

    3. The construction, erection or placing within the curtilage of a house of any such structure shall not reduce the amount of private open space reserved exclusively for the use of the occupants of the house to the rear or to the side of the house to less than 25 square metres.

    4. The external finishes of any garage or other structure constructed, erected or placed to the side of a house, and the roof covering where any such structure has a tiled or slated roof, shall conform with those of the house.

    5. The height of any such structure shall not exceed, in the case of a building with a tiled or slated pitched roof, 4 metres or, in any other case, 3 metres.

    6. The structure shall not be used for human habitation or for the keeping of pigs, poultry, pigeons, ponies or horses, or for any other purpose other than a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the house as such.
    but to be sure you should get the help and advice of a good local professional.
