Hi, I have a large garden, approximately one third of an acre and it has a pre-cast concrete sectional garage approximately 6 metres wide x 8 metres long. With it being sectinal it can easily be dismantled and re-built.
The garage is sited 30 metres from the back of my house and on the boundary line at the right hand side and I wish to move it to the boundary line on the left hand side.
Planning permission was originally gained when the garage was erected some 20 years ago.
The reason I want to move it is it is on the wrong side of my property as my drive way is on the left. The surroundin trees are undermining the garage base and think it best to move it away from the trees. Both neighbours do not have any objections.
Do I need planning permission to move the garage.
Thanks

No one here can know the answer to this as it will depend on the local bylaws and you didn't say where you live.
Call the planning dept, they will tell you.

Hi Martin,
My humble advice in such a circumstance would be to just do it regardless. Not that I am against proper local consent for a structure, but it is about time that common sense prevailed.
I am lucky to live in a rural area, but not a word was said about constucting a small hydro-electric power building down by the stream to feed three households. That was 15 years ago, and I have had no silly paperwork from any authourity.
A pre-fab garage ? If it is your land, then bung it where you want it, I would say.
Too many folks with nothing better to do than fiddle around with applications for greenhouses in your own garden.
Crack on, and the folks will get the message that we can do roughly what we please on our own property, as long as it does not offend neighbours and is not dangerous etc.
Best of,
Bob

Why dont you just get planning permission? You cant advertise your house as having a roof terrace when you come to selling it if you didnt have permission, which also means that when someone moves in to your house, they wont be able to get insurance for that part of the house so should anything go wrong with it, theres nothign they can do.
