im looking at bulding a garage, attached to the side of my house opposed to one a detached garage.
just wondering on the planning side of things and a cost for this??
anyone built a garage recently and have any idea on costs please, all im after is a small single garage for my car with enough room to open the door etc, nothing big.
thanks in advance for your help

as a rough rule I'd say average £3 a brick when layed each brick is 3" tall so thets say 7.5ft which is 90" which in theory would be 30 bricks tall plus 2cm for each joint, so 3 side's = 90 bricks to the roofline depending on the roof style and garage door for arguments sake thets say your having a 7.5ft flat roofed garage so 90 bricks for the three sides = 270 plus labour plus foundations plus roofing etc electricals such as a light maybe and depending on a few variables i'd say about 5-6k witha gargae door etc
Have you thought about a prefab concrete garage made from concrete slabs?
They are classed as a temporoary building so I believe planning isn't required, they go up very quickly and cost a fraction of building one.
We were looking at one about 4m x 5m and it was just over £1000.
That didn't include the base though.

I think you can do that under permitted development. Worth calling your local council for their guidance. Def need building regs as/when you build it.
a quick google:
Do I need Planning permission or Building Control approvals?
To help you understand these issues we detail below some of the "conditions" attached to planning permission and Building Regulations. (These apply to Wales only) England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland regulations are quite different - You should in all instances take local advice.
Do I need permission for a Detached Garage?
You will need to apply for planning permission if any of the following cases apply on the land around your house.
You want to put up a building or structure which would be nearer to any highway than the nearest part of the "original house", unless there would be at least 20 metres between the new building and any highway. The term "highway" includes public roads, footpaths, bridleways and byways.
More than half the area of land around the "original house" would be covered by additions or other buildings.
The building or structure is not to be used for domestic purposes and is to be used instead, for example, for parking a commercial vehicle, running a business or for storing goods in connection with a business.
You want to put up a building or structure which is more than 3 metres high, or more than 4 metres high if it has a ridged roof. (Measure from the highest ground next to it.)
If your house is a listed building, or you live in a Conservation Area, a National Park, or an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and you want to put up a building or structure with a volume of more than 10 cubic metres.
The words "original house" have a particular meaning.
The term "original house" means the house as it was first built or as it stood on 1 July 1948 (if it was built before that date). Although you may not have built an extension to the house, a previous owner may have done so.
Note: If your new building would have a volume over 10 cubic metres, and come within 5 metres of the house, it would be treated as an extension and would count against your overall volume entitlement.
If the work you are carrying out involves making a new access, or the alteration of an existing access to a trunk or classified road, you will need planning permission, not only for the access but also for the development.
BUILDING REGULATIONS - Wales
Domestic single storey detached garage up to 30 sq meters are exempted under BUILDING AND BUILDINGS ENGLAND AND WALES The Building Regulations 2000, the rules are listed below.
Building a detached garage up to 30 square metres floor area would not normally need building regulations approval if:
the floor area of the detached garage is less than 15 square metres.
the floor area of the garage is between 15 square metres and 30 square metres, provided the garage is at least one metre from any boundary, or it is constructed from substantially non-combustible materials.
All garages built of brick or block walls and have a tiled roof are considered to be substantially of non-combustible material. Flat roof garages can also be substantially of non-combustible material when the roof is covered with 12.5mm limestone chippings.

We went to a local garages centre but basically, all their garages were made by these guys.
http://www.lidget.co.uk/
They bolt the sections together and seal the joins and are as sturdy as a brick wall.
The quote we got was a year ago or so and was for a flat roofed one, but I was impressed with them and if you move you could take it with you lol.

you could do it for a hell of a lot less than 10k
I built and 8.05m by 2.65m extension on my house year before last
everything to the finish article fitted out etc was under 10k
I built a garage a few years ago in block tiled roof and that was around
4.5k all in.
the extension took me 60days start to finish.
