Permitted development on the back of a semi is 4m back from building line. But you only need enough to get your doors past the current narrow garage part......
I think.
I preferred the car cover
I'm pretty sure its extended to 6m for semis and 8m for detached in a 3 year govt incentive to encourage spend in the building trade (works need to be completed by 1/5/2016. I think.

Were looking into this get the max possible design then assess impact to garden and budget/is it really needed to be that big.

Showed this to the wife and we both agreed it looks pretty well built and well done on the OP for trying to protect his P&J. Don't think its an eyesore at all.
Just goes to show what different types of living standards we have I suppose!

OP - forget the council request as the problem is now solved.

Yes it is ugly and I cannot see how it can possible be useful however thread infected with tenuous justifications of nimbyism. Why can't people just mind their own business any more?
Because UK society involves certain norms. That's what makes the UK a nicer place to live than a lot of the world. Part of those norms are not building ugly crap in front of your house without giving your neighbours chance to object (within the rules).UK society is not "I'll do whatever I want", it's about doing what is reasonable. That "construction" in front of that house in that street is not reasonable.

So the car won't fit in the garage - there's a simple solution to this:
You turn the living room and dining room into a through lounge.
Turn the through lounge into a garage by installing a large up over door.
Then convert the garage into a living room.
All the neighbours are kept happy, the council is kept happy - and you only have the wife to contend with (!)
I do not think that word means what you think it means...You turn the living room and dining room into a through lounge.
