I have inherited a freeholdBungalowwith a largish garden.

It has a separate single garage connected to thebungalowby a
carport, all marked on the Land registry plans.

I want to build a double garage come workshop and home office as an
extension to mybungalow. It will require planning permission as it
will be 1 ft 30cm from the boundary. I will also incorporating land
now occupied by the existing carport and garage as we as a garden home
office shed and a garden shed.

Has anyone done something similar or has any an ideas, photos or plans
that might help me go in the correct direction.

TheBungalowhas a Gable end and the Workshop extension will be in the
top bar crossing a “T” more or less.

Any suggestions appreciated.

It would be easier to talk to an architect or a builder to see what you can
and can't have in the space. *You should also find out if there are any
restrictions on foundation positions and things, because you won't know
about local water table depths and things like that. *Your local planning
department should have all that kind of information.

The ground works are the all important part of any construction, so they
need to be researched fully before you even go into the planning and design
of your new build. *It may cost you a fortune to have pilings set in the
ground just so you can have a small single storey extension or workshop
added. *So I would advise getting all the information about the land first,
then see what your planning department will allow for your site.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice
