Me either! it's just having to please the tin gods in the town hall.

Just a quick update, no response at all to email / question, the sad thing is, l'm not surprised at all.

Thanks for the input, freddy, well things are sounding positive on the forum, l just need an official answer to this. It's the one percent of doubt that could have me having to reinstate the garage that worries me!!

Hiya woody, thanks for replying, just fired off an email as tcr suggested, to Sheffield planning hoping for a quick reply, just seen, for advice from council costs £ 207 for a written reply. They should wear masks and have guns for robbery like that. If what you tell me is correct, it's a...

Hiya T.cr, first of all thanks for the reply, l actually considered your idea with the rear opening, but was wanting to widen the driveway leading up to the house and put up electric gates. The garage front sits back from the face of the house by about 3 metres and this would be a perfect...

Thanks for the suggestion, that would have been my immediate idea, unfortunately the bungalow is on a small cul de sac and all the houses are of the same red brick, which in it's day probably looked good. Most are well maintained and in keeping with each other so l wanted a nice change but not a...

Hello folks, a first timer here hoping to glean some of your years of knowledge. The thing is, we are getting a bit long in the tooth now, so decided to downsize to a bungalow. The face walls are a bit scruffy and slightly spalled in places, so l was considering building a new face wall tied...
