In our new build, an independent granny flat with a separate entrance will be constructed on the upper floor. That’s why the architect included a third parking space. However, the driveway is long enough to park two cars in a row. Also, I don’t want to give up another part of the garden (next to the conservatory) for a paved parking space. Of course, it’s not ideal to park cars one behind the other. But our son will move into the granny flat, and out of convenience, he will 100% park on the street.
Can we skip the third parking space, or is it something that will be inspected?

Can we skip the third parking space, or is it going to be checked at some point?Ultimately, it’s a straightforward risk assessment. Usually, this is checked. A parking space doesn’t necessarily have to be a paved area, and the use of space can shift somewhat in practice. Of course, there is always the risk that someone might later insist on reclaiming the area that is no longer used for cars. The idea of not sacrificing and sealing off more land is generally commendable.
With a bit of boldness and creativity, there are solutions that won’t bother anyone, as long as you don’t live in a densely populated area where street parking is already scarce.

to forgo an official and approved granny flatWe didn’t have the apartments for the guys approved as granny flats either; officially, our house is a single-family home. Technically, the units are clearly separated. However, in terms of taxes, subsidies (which we didn’t apply for anyway), and depreciation, this puts you at a disadvantage. In the end, it was simpler and that was fine.Similar topics
