An interesting case as well, as a former garage had an approved permission on site, but was built larger than approved by the former owners. So we needed to demonstrate that the current building was immune from enforcment (4year rule); as part of the application to convert the “as-built” garage to the accessible annex (with alterations) to support the development of an accessible annex, linked to the main house.

Planning Approval for Garage Conversion!

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve received planning approval for the conversion of an existing garage into a beautiful ancillary granny annex!

Working alongside Wayne from Atriarc Planning, we developed the plans to support the application — and we’ve included a few of our drawings below.

This will be a very special home for our clients, designed for accessible living, with additional space above for a carer to use if and when needed.

We can’t wait to see this project take shape as we move into our Stage 2 process!

If you have project idea you'd like to discuss, give us a call on the number below to arrange your free one hour consultation!
