My client had purchased a car repair garage that had been built on the side of a house, in a mainly residential area. The business was on a large plot but the proximity of the house to the garage meant that neither worked well ; for example the garage was sandwiched between the house and MOT bay.
We were commissioned to re-design the site so that the business (garage) could be separated from the dwelling, making the house more private and the new purpose built garage far more efficient. We were able to achieve get what he wanted in the end, which wasn’t easy as the planning authority and local residents had misgivings about the proposed changes.
