extension in the garden

Way too small for subdivision/ spitting, sorry

Sorry, I have to agree with the others. It's unlikely, you need to consider other things like parking too. You would find yourself with no garden and tight access to the development.

Can I use the front pebble area as a second parking? (guess might have to take permission from council for that too) and may be drop kerb there.

Why have you picked this house? It's a bit of a random choice for development?

You are right, it wasn't picked with a separate plot/development in mind. Rather just a big extension at the back.

Anything else you can think of for adding value?

Is adding a small self contained flat with an extra car park in the front an option.

Thanks to all who are replying:)

This sort of thing doesn't add much in the way of capital value. It also requires planning permission for an annex or possibly even separate dwelling. There's a reason that not lany houses like that exist.

The income would be from rent, so there needs to be a strategy to keep the property.

Are you prepared to live in it and rent out the back? I suspect most people wouldn't be.

We don't even know what this property is worth at present to say what adds value - land values are key here. From a common sense and planning perspective, the best outcome for a semi-detached dwelling in a relatively open but populated environment is to remain as such.

Extensions and loft conversions, basically.

yes, idea was to rent out the separate dwelling to a professional (we are close to hospitals/big companies).

But as you said, best would be to just do a double storied extension at the back/side. Is there any theoretical limit of how far the extension can go at the rear?

Plenty of room for a nice garden officer/studio building at the end of the garden. A decent-specced building would add some value, not as much as an extension though. Depending on its use and size it could be done under permitted development although full planning would give you greater scope for its use (you would be able to make it self-contained and habitable with a small kitchen/toilet etc.). Would probably cost around £20k or so.

Unless you're in a restricted area (National park etc) they will have to allow it, as you would win on appeal. I would have a chat with the owner of the house with the blue car in the drive as the two areas combined I think you might be able to get three houses in at least, and both of you move away to nicer houses. But apply for outline planning permission they can only say no.

Yes. A 45 degree angle from the centre of your attached neighbour's nearest upstairs window. Usually.
