Morning All, Man, it's been a while since I've been on here, but to be fair it's been a while since I did anything with my cars. So, New wife, New house, old job, and I need a garage... 9m wide max, and I'm thinking 6-7m depth. 3 sets of double doors plus ped all in front elevation. Brick with tin roof cuz of max height 2.5m and tiles won't like the shallow slope? Maybe? Most of the design I'm OK with apart from it being on a slight slope. High at the back and low at the doors. Plus i'm building right up against my boundary (Neighbours are cool). Slope is 600mm in 6m. Any advice on what to do to keep it all dry? Have a pic of one of my GTMs. Cheers,  |

At that size I think you need planning permission - so plan for a taller roof if you want/can?
My land sloped a similar amount - block retaining wall all around, filled levelled with hardcore etc, concreted. I did stick with a lower flat roof - used insulated metal roofing panels with slight slope to rear, one panel length front to back, max height of 2.5m measured at the front as my ground level.

I don't need planning but it does need building regs - as long as I stay to the 2.5m height (measured from the highest surrounding ground level so in theory I can go up 3.1m from the front elevation if I dig the slope out.)
I think I'm going to have to go with some sort of retaining wall and drainage and make the built footprint slightly smaller.

I'd suggest that having a reasonable overhang on the roof (if permitted) will help with keeping things dry, and as had already been said, make sure the roof sheets are insulated or insulate afterwards, else the condensation will make it like it's raining inside.

Are you 100% sure about the planning situation, I have a feeling if you are building a brick (not wooden structure) on the boundary then planning is required, 1m away from the boundary and it isn't.

Plus i'm building right up against my boundary (Neighbours are cool). I don't want to be a kill-joy, but as dodgerover says I would check very carefully about the planning permission situation. It's fine to say that the CURRENT neighbours are OK about it...but what happens when they move? What happens if you have a falling-out and they decide that they're not OK with it after all? Have you spoken to your local planning officer? They are usually really helpful. Even if you think you're OK, with such a large (and no doubt costly) project I wouldn't take any chances. Believe me, councils can and do make you knock things down no matter how much you spent building them! |

I agree with the others. If its within permitted development they’ll tell you so. You can even get a certificate from them to say it’s just dandy. Work with them and they can be incredibly helpful. If you don’t they can be a right pain the  . I went to see my local planning officer and managed to build a 12x8m garage with room above in the green belt. He was so pleased that someone had asked his advice before hand that he was beyond helpful. |

As others have said it’s irrespective if your neighbours Ok it, if it’s brick built and too close to the boundary you still have to jump through the planning loops. It’ll cost you a few hundred quid but if your neighbours aren’t going to object it’s just a formality really.

I read the 1m rule wasn't an issue if built primarily out of non combustible materials it was a gov site too

You need to go to: www.planningportal.co.uk/Under 30sqm and you can build under permitted development, when various conditions apply such as the construction material and distance to boundarys. But 6x7m = 63sqm is huge, bigger than many houses. You will need planning permission. As suggested above, a informal chat with your local planning officer would be very helpful. |
