I was told by my architect that when I submitted the plans they would possibly be rejected because the garage was too large, so I did expect the worst. In all honesty I would have been happy with a double garage but was delighted when my plans were approved for a triple garage.
The neighbours were all sent the relevant information of the intended build and there were no objections, until the build started and they saw the size of the garage, but by this point in time it was too late for them to object.
21 months it took from start to finish, I did everything myself except the block work and the roughcasting, it was a massive learning curve for me and many sleepless nights but well worth all the effort.
Now if I had known that the planning process was going to be so easy I would have made it a 4 or possibly 5 car garage as the extra cost would have only been a couple of thousand pounds.
