Conversion of Garages and Loss of In-Curtilage Parking
When converting an attached or integral garage to living space, any lost parking must be accommodated elsewhere within the site curtilage or on street. Care should be taken to ensure adequate parking provision is maintained.
An extension or alteration to a residential property that involves the conversion of an attached or integral garage to create additional living space can result in the loss of in-curtilage car parking provision. In such cases, care should be taken to ensure that any car parking space lost due to the proposed development is capable of being accommodated elsewhere within the curtilage of the site or can be accommodated on street.
