Just about to start out!!

[lmrn1]

Hi

As the title says I am just about to start getting plans etc drawn up to have a timber framed garage at the front / side of property.  I have a corner plot which is a end house.  I would like a 8mt x 5mt garage to the front left of the property which I know will need planning permission as its in front of the house.  There are other houses within a couple of miles that have had brick built garages in there front gardens so I am hoping that I shouldn't have problems but I am sure I will.  There is a foul sewage also that runs from front to back of the property which I think I will need to get permission from Seven Trent to build over as the base will be very close.  The neighbour had a double garage build a few years ago which is at the side but not in front of his house and I know the drain is fairly well buried, think he said about 3mt but could be wrong but he has all the paperwork that I can use he said.

 

I have attached a couple of photo's the overhead google photo shows the red line where I want the garage.

 

What are peoples thoughts on the possible outcome?

 

Thanks

 

Lee

Welcome.

 

First thing will be to get a drawing from Severn Trent showing the location and details of the sewer. If there are any discrepancies, request they come out and survey it to confirm. Check your property deeds for a way leave. There may not be one depending on the age of the sewer 

 

Whether you get permission to build over or not, that's a complete lottery I'm afraid. same for planning. Precedence a couple miles away doesn't really apply, it's what's been done on your street. Best of luck. Ask as many questions here as you like.
