Thank you very much for your advice. As the building was originally one building and the garage has been built far less than 1/2 the width of this original dwelling. I understand that even though the building has subsequently been split into 2 separate houses the original building was built as one. I think I will take some advice as we would prefer not to go for retrospective as its gives a bad name amongst local councillors and community and the other option is to remove or reduce it but this is costly and for the sake of 20cm doesn't seem worth it...!

A tenant has added a garage to the side of his property. We agreed to the wooden structure as it was well within permitted development requirements. The property was originally one detached house but was split into 2 semi detached houses. The planners are saying that because the property has been subdivided the measurements for the garage are too wide as they can only take them from the subdivided part. However I understand original dwelling to be as it was built. Can anyone help clear this up? Thankyou
