Checks we make on garage courts and yards in Frome
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
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.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 93 miles from Frome, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
