Extension over Garage
We are thinking of extending over our garage but given the scale and price of the work is it possible to do in phases? We live in a semidetached linked by garages house. The Garage is sloped currently. Very high at front and low at the back. I think it would be more achievable to the following Get planning/building regs. Check or modify the footings Raise the back end to a standard height Lower the front end to a standard height Rubber roof Then do the 2nd floor at a later date for phase 2?

Can I have a two storey side extension?
