The garage courts and yards that interests us around Leominster
Across Leominster, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Leominster is in Herefordshire, about 12 miles north of Hereford. Nearby places include Ludlow, Hereford and Loughton.
- Parking courts behind houses
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- Land with or without planning history
Most new homes are planned around Hereford and the market towns, with smaller numbers in villages through neighbourhood plans. Typical opportunities include edge-of-village paddocks, redundant farm buildings, infill plots and former commercial land, with flood risk along the Wye and Lugg valleys a frequent consideration.
What decides whether a site in Leominster works
Displaced parking
Councils often want to know where current users will park.
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
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 Leominster, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
