I can't see this making any difference with the new properties designed as they are. The garage has nothing to do with cars anymore.
Because the building regs were written when we all drove smaller cars!
The garage + the space in front is "on paper" 2 parking spaces which (I think) is the minimum needed for a 3 bed new build
Parking requirements in regulations are well behind the times which is why every new build development is a nightmare to drive around as a car parking space will not generate as much return as built upon land.
Councils have started to realise this so with extensions & conversions they tend to impose local council requirements on the planning approval.Growing old is mandatory
Growing up is optionalComment
