Planning department want me to take down a carport !!!

[was8v]

S0..... how did this end?

Did the OP put the roller in the garage?
Did he go down for VAT fraud?
Are the posts still standing?

So many unanswered questions outstanding.

I used to go past the OP's house as it was near my work ,so I know the carport came down.

I know nothing about his roller or VAT.

How does street view look as that must have updated?

March 2018 Streetview pic bizarrely shows his house with scaffolding up , extension in progress ,including the garage being converted

into a room of the house.

Deffo the right house as the Prowler is outside ,under a cover.

Not posting a link to someone else's house....

Zero evidence of carport.

No planning for this bad boy lol neigbours are going to be pleased!!!!

I've done that for a year in student accommodation.

Only comment in a year was about the bricks I left down inline with the bottom of the ramp, from nextdoor (with the tatty porch addition) asked if they could be tucked away a bit to prevent drunk opertunists placing them through windows. I obliged.

Nextdoor the other way had a cozzie sapphire and a burger van on the drive. So it was in good company, still have trailer ten years later, not bad for £800.

So he had a single garage, wanted a double tandem, but ended up with none

Or wanted a single, and a greedy little front room.

And the whole extension cost less than £200!

[thebraketester]

So the neighbours have gone from having one boxy eyesore, to another.......

[saaby93]

Looks like a good compromise. OP asked , listened and carried out

[ThumperMc]

On a slight tangent to this, but the above photo reminded me...

Where the garage has been converted to a room, why?!

I viewed a house the other day and they had done the same, resulting in a c2.1m x 6m room, too narrow for anything other than an awkward snug.

Single garages rairly make a good room.

My partners parents did it, so the children could practice musical instruments and do homework etc, the room was that unpleasant she stopped playing her musical instrument and revised in her room.

True, we mulled it over

Dining room? No
Snug? Wouldn’t really work
Playroom for die kinder? Maybe
Office? I’d use about half of it, so no.

I said I’d put an external door on and keep my bikes init

Ours makes a cracking utility/boot/dog washing/boiler room.

Not surprised, I'd also be embarrassed if I owned it!

Although, in fairness, not until _after he'd built the thing and the Council Enforcement team had turned up and told him to remove it!

When I was looking to move a couple of years back I found a house that was almost perfect, apart from the garage had been converted into another room leaving nowhere to keep my bikes. I bought a different property.

Pretty much, even left the old up and over door for aesthetics!
