Oooerr ... !

When we were thinking of adding an extension to our double story 'rear
addition' (Victorian house) the Council told us if we added another
bedroon we would have to provide 'off street parking for as many cars
as we had bedrooms' (we can currently ond cover one).

Now the rules have changed (again) .. possibly something to do with
the fact that the Council are passing loads of plans for every inch of
land to be turned into flats (including 3 petrol stations). A new
block of 18 flats was required to provide 12 parking spaces?

When it suits ..

All the best ..
