Hi

From what I can recall (just got permission for something similar) if all of
the garage is more than 1m from any boundary and as stated less than 4m high
you should be OK.
Or make a quick sketch of you property pop down to council they will get
your house up on PC and tell you there and then if you need planning and or
Building regs.

Cheers

Tony

Hi,

Have a concrete sectional garage with shallow ridged roof, made from
corrugated asbestos cement.

The front of it is ~1.5m behind the back of the house. The garage is
set back about 4 car lengths from the road.

I would like to replace the asbestos roof with one that doesn't leak
and generally make the place a bit for homely for the freezer we intend
to put in there.

So the plan is to remove existing roof and timber and replace with new
corrugated plastic over new timber work.

What scope is there for me to make the roof a little higher with a
steeper pitch? Some other garages along the road (on properties built
at a different time) have higher roofs with steeper pitch. The point
of this would be to create a space in which I can store our volumous
roof box which we bought after our car shrank, following the birth of
our daughter.

I'm wondering if I need any kind of approval for this work be it
building regs or planning?

any comments gratefully received.
