thank you SteamyT

What's my next step? I know a few Architects. Speak to the council. Want to cross off can's & Can'ts and if it won't work, at least I tried.

No 3, LOL, bit too skinny. https://www.housebeautiful.com/uk/lifestyle/property/a40124832/skinny-london-house-for-sale-hackney/

Hi Torre, Totally agree its a risk. With the alley and garage at least it will increase the property enough to cover. Especially as I need to fix the fence anyway. Planning is another matter. Other than bins and bikes, Anyone, do you need to have an alley to the back of a house? If so, what for?

I have thought of the side extension but I have hit the ceiling on what the house is worth. Even if the kids don't live in it, it would be a form of income for them. I may just scrap the idea and buy a small flat to do up but if you don't try these things. If i could buy the garage, it may work. Devaluing the current house is not an issue, next to the piccadilly line so house prices are silly anyway. Anyhoo, thank you for all the comments.

The heart icon is a bit strange. Thanks for this. If I tie into the main house? I may try to see if I can purchase some of the garage to the right. MAybe half. Would that work? If there was the width, would it be possible?

Hi All, Nice to meet you all. I am looking to build a small/skinny house on my driveway. It would be for my kids so they aren't forced to leave London. I am enquiring about purchasing the alleyway to extend the size of the land. I cant see who owns the alley on land registry, but one of the houses says it belongs to them. just wondering if this is even possible. *Is there a minimum size I can build? *Do I need access to the rear down the side? * What height restrictions etc are there? Thanks for your advice in advance.

Hi Everyone, Nice to e-meet you all. Currently looking for advice on a 'driveway' house build. Thanks, Robert
