If you plan on building something in a garden, chances are that it’ll be near at least one other property. Councils strive to keep every garden plot scheme in character with the local setting. It must work to guarantee zero loss of outlook, light, or privacy for neighbours. There must be appropriate parking and safe access too. Moreover, there mustn’t be any damage to important trees.
When taking part in your own project, you’ll want to keep the following information in mind; it will prove to be indispensable when applying for planning permission.
Drainage
Something vital you’ll need to think about is how you’re going to drain your garden plot. Preferably, you can connect to a public sewage system. The surface water could go to soakaways as well. You must think about these details early on. This way, you can include effective solutions in your planning application.
The local politics
Another factor you will want to consider is the local politics. When submitting applications to build on garden plots, these play a critical role. From the outset, it’s a smart idea to get the neighbours on board with what you’re doing. This shall pay dividends. They could have friends on the town or parish council. Better still, they could be part of them. It’s also possible that they may have influence at the borough or district council level.
