Our linked garage is built in reverse, due to our driveway situated to the rear of our house, therefore the garage door is located on the rear of the house. We're proposing a small extension, to fill the void to the front of our house, which is to the rear of the garage wall, and convert the garage, taking the back garage wall forwards, to the same boundary as to the front of our house. We propose to then install a window, in keeping with the rest of the house, with a pitched roof.
