Converting carport to garage

sathe

Hi I own a detached property that has a double car port under my next door neighbours one floor apartment.

It is fully enclosed with the exception of the front.

What are the laws in England about me wanting a garage door on it?

I haven't approached the subject with them yet but wondered if planning permission was required and also if any people are I. Similar situations.

Also would it be noisy for them if I opened and closed it? Trying to be a considerate neighbour after all

it might be better if you ask nile to move this to the correct forum, it's not really suited to the floods & storms forum

But did you got the laws of England?

Ah yes this thread is in the wrong place! Can a mod move it for me?

Thanks.

Is it a new build? If so look at your deeds as a lot of new builds you are not able to convert a carport to a garage.

I think the reasoning behind it is something to do with, as a carport you would park your car, but as a garage it turns into a storage area, so your car is left on the road, where there isn't really the room.

That is what we were told when we looked at a new build. However this meant the house was not suitable for us as OH has stuff that needs to go in a garage.
