RE: Waaayyyyy OT: Planning permission

I figured that :(

Planners

Yes, though there are none where both adjacent houses have been done. 
Not
that this is going to make any difference really.

> like the removal of cars from the roadway so conversion of a garage
=
> loss of parking space. Not a problem if the driveway is long 

By that reasoning then, they would prefer not to grant permission if
he's
going to convert the garage to a room.

> enough, but

Driveways along our road are long enough, though they do slope down.
Garages are all 50's ones - ie too narrow to comfortably take a car
_and_
let you get in/out of it.
Net result:  Pertty much everyone along our road (apart from me) parks
on
the road :-(
Okay, I'm not doing the hand brake on the car a great deal of good, but
there's a reason we all have long driveways, and it's a nightmare
navigating
the road with so many bloody parked cars :-(

Would suit me.

I know I can't say for sure, I was just kinda looking for an opinion -
would
_you_ be put off a 'semi' because the only thing separating it from being
a
terraced house is 6" of space?  I think I would be.
(Leave aside for now whether you would want a semi at all - we all want
self
builds in the middle of nowhere, fully automated & with a T1
internet
connection!)

cheers,

Tony
