New garage

My neighbor is currently doing this, they have removed the old brick garage and have started to erect a wooden garage which is slightly wider and taller. I'm I able to do this as well ? Do I need planning permission before I do this ?

Advice from 9 local tradespeople

Being constructed of wood should render it a temporary structure so planning not normally required, you would need to ask your local council, but remember tell them it's a temporary wooden structure.

U shouldn't need planning if there was 1 there already but it depends if planning was giving on the first one for a certain size

No as long as its on your property and not restricting any neighbours light or over looking neighbours

You need to get an permission from the council first

You can build a garage or outbuilding on your property without planning permission as long as it's of a reasonable size – no higher than 4 metres

Yes that's fine to do but you might need planning if you make it bigger

Hi this would depend on your councils planning rules

No need for planning for a garage as long as you are not crossing any boundaries or over 4m in height.
Garages are permitted development

As long as you have permitted development rights
