Carport To A Garage - New Build

Townsmcp · 2018-07-30 11:16:41

Hi all Just looking for some advice. Im currently buying a new build semi detached house. The house has a carport with it, built next to the property but also under the master bedroom. We would like to put a garage door on it being as there are 3 walls - the back wall has a door to my garden, the left wall is my house wall…

All the houses on the estate in question are being built by the same developer (TW). They'd be hard pushed not to notice the one in question, it's on the entrance road into the estate they've been driving past for the past 8 years. It's directly opposite a community hall owned by the council!

The council may well have sent a letter to the occupier insisting it's taken down, but if he doesn't what are they actually going to do? Come round and rip it down themselves? Cash strapped councils have other priorities.

It'll probably be a problem if/when the owner comes to sell, but I guess at that point he'll just take it down.
