Development type(s):

The construction of a detached double garage within the rear garden of the host property, replacing an existing substandard garage and associated carport structures.

The proposed development involved the demolition of a dilapidated outbuilding, including a corrugated roof canopy and timber gate enclosure, which formed a visually fragmented and low-quality arrangement along the rear boundary.

The replacement structure comprises a purpose-built double garage, designed with a pitched tiled roof, rendered and/or brick elevations, and a roller shutter garage door. The proposal provides secure off-street parking and improved storage accommodation, while rationalising the layout of the rear garden.

The scale, siting, and design of the new building result in a more cohesive and visually appropriate form of development, with materials selected to complement the character of the main dwelling and surrounding context.

Architectural drawings include existing and proposed site layouts and elevations.
