Carports planning permission
In Scotland do you require planning permission to build a carport onto the side of your garage? Missy's moaning that her car is being left
outside while mines all cozy inside but its MY GARAGE!!!

in england rather than scotlan as long as it is less then 30m2 and doesn't occupy more than a certain percentage of your garden and is open on 2
sides then you dont need planning permission

I wonder if I could get away with one on the front of my garage that is already flush with the front of my house?

I think you don't you do as long as it isn't in your front garden you stay below 2 meters from the original ground level and the surface
below it is porus.(if it wasn't concrete/tarmac already)
The planning department in my local authority (South Lanarkshire) has a very good web site with guides to what you can and can't do that help
me straighten issues out with my neighbours fence and decking.

Where the hell do you fing the time Whippy? You seem to spend all day on here and every week you're coming up with new wierd ideas. See Nissan
Bluebirds, building garages, putting new drive in, digging man traps in said drive, escalators to the moon etc. How do you get them all done. Unless
you've a time machine too that you haven't told us about?

Whipster, the rules are different in Scotland. You have a permitted development allowance of 24 sq m for detached and semi detached houses. That means
you can extend upto 24sqm beyond the original development. If you have already extended before in any way, the previous extension reduces the
allowance of 24. Even a garage built after the original house counts unless it's more than 5m behind the main house and the total area of site
developed including the house and all other buildings does not exceed 30% of the site. You can not build infront of the frontage line of the house,
i.e. nothing forward of the house if there is a road infront of the elevation. If your not sure, send me a sketch and I'll confirm exactly the
requirements. HTH

IIRC you can not build past your 'build line'. This is a line drawn along the elevation of your house parallel to the road. This is why
you need planning permission for a stupid little canopy over your front door if it is at the front of the house facing the road.
I don't have one as I live on a corner and the edge my plot on two sides is behind any lines projected off the corner of the road. 
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!
