We have a garage / workshop that was granted planning in 2008 one of the clauses was that the use was for ancillary use to the dwelling. I think its a good thing that the council added in the work ancillary, by definition it means I can use it in connection with my barn i.e the barn has 1 bed room thus I am intending to use the garage as a guest annex.
When it was built it was constructed with this in mind so the slab and walls were all insulated. I am at the point of fitting it out with a small kitchen and bathroom wood burner and central heating. The thing that worries me is I am now at the point I need to get building control involved because of the alterations.
However I am worried that this might then red flag the LA who might try to stop me.
What are your thoughts on ancillary use buildings. The garage is about 30m from the barn.
