Maybe not directly "motors" related but would certainly appreciate some fellow petrol head's input\opinion on an issue I'm facing.
So the issue is I'm currently planning an extension to my house, the most logical and only feasible location is on the side of the house. At the moment I have a garage\workshop in my back garden and a nice wide driveway running up to it, with the extension being planned to the side of the house covering some of that driveway. I'm torn between assigning space to the internal room (lounge\diner) or to the outside space (driveway\lane).
I want as large a lounge as possible, but still, need to be able to get cars etc back past the house to the garage, the current plan means the driveway at its tightest point is about 2.8m wide, the room is approx 3m wide.
Any of you guys live with a small driveway\lane? how narrow is it and how do you manage?
Another noteworthy point is that there is a driveway at the front of the house for about 2 cars, so we won't need to park\exit the vehicle in the narrow area.
