As we have now constructed the Sun room, under new planning regulations we need to 'give back' the square metres used for construction, and have made the decision to demolish the garage. This will also give us some off road parking, which is a necessity with the very busy road at the front of the cottage, and parking space being at a minimum.
We have given the work to a local building company, as the roof sheets contain 1% asbestos cement, these need to be disposed of in the correct manner and to a licensed waste station.
Initial work has commenced, laying foundations and building a block-work wall to divide up the current outhouse and garage space, and today some of the roof sheets have been removed.
