What garage courts and yards we want near Ledbury
Across Ledbury, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Ledbury is in Herefordshire, about 12 miles east of Hereford. Nearby places include Great Malvern, Ross-on-Wye and Tewkesbury.
- Parking courts behind houses
- Small service yards and compounds
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
Herefordshire is a rural county with the city of Hereford, the market towns of Leominster, Ross-on-Wye and Ledbury, and many small villages and hamlets. There is no Green Belt, but the Wye Valley and Malvern Hills National Landscapes cover parts of the county. Phosphate pollution in the River Wye and its tributary the Lugg has been a major barrier to new housing, so drainage and nutrient mitigation are often central to whether a site can proceed.
What usually makes or breaks it
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
Licences and tenants
Garage licences are usually easy to end, but we check the terms.
Ground conditions
Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 42 miles from Ledbury, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
