Having lost a large chunk of my built-in garage in order to make a bathroom for a disabled relative, I'm looking at the feasibility of having a stand-alone garage built - but don't have an infinite amount of space - quite apart from planning issues with building lines etc.Are there any established standards - estate agent speak, or whatever - for what constitutes a "double garage"? My own thoughts are that the inernal dimensions would need to be at least 18 or 20 feet long by 15 feet wide. Obviously, I want to make it as big as space and planners permit - but is there a size below which it wouldn't qualify as a double?

Length depends on cars, check a Volvo Estate. Double doors are 14'wide, and you need at least two lengths of brick either side.

How big is a double garage?

So when are you guys going to learn how to reverse?

You do know that the choke is not there to hang your handbag on, don't you?

The difference is genetic. Technological progress will make reversing skill obsolete long before natural selection makes it significantly more widespread.

The regulations are the process of approval. Exempt from approval means exempt from the regulations.

No. That only happens (if at all) when the work should have been approved (ie, it was within the scope of the regulations) but wasn't.
