Detached garage,extension for Granny flat.

pkvader

Detached brick garage to the rear of the house,possibly looking to extend it beyond 25sqm for a granny flat for my mother.Only want to extend it by another 7/8sqm,what is the likely hood of being granted planning permission?.House is detached in a small private estate with another 14 detached houses,if that makes any difference.

(Im completely clueless to anything planning related,this is very much in the early discussion stage,so any thoughts welcome)

Won’t get permission for use as a granny flat. It will be an extended shed.
Granny flats have to be connected to the main dwelling with an interlinking door set.

So using it as a liveable space is out?

Thanks for the reply

Ancillary to the main house. So games room, workshop, shed, home office etc
Just not habitable use.

"Ancillary to main house" If I convert or extend an existing sound garage with proper windows insulation, plumbing etc, when does it become habitable. Is it the action of regular habitation or the capability. I would assume there is no barrier to me doing this (properly) and never claiming its actually habitable. Or can i fall foul of making it habitable.

If it becomes habitable then it has to be part of the exemptions in the first place otherwise you need permission.
