Hi David, For an original ATTACHED garage, an appeal decision has found that its front wall can form part of "the principal elevation". However, I haven't seen any appeal decisions that have dealt with an original DETACHED garage. Personally, I suspect that the front wall of an original detached garage won't form part of "the principal elevation". It should be noted that there are other parts of the legislation for which it makes a difference whether the original garage is attached or detached (e.g. limitation A.1(a), Class A versus Class E, etc), and I suspect that this is also the case for the phrase "the principal elevation". Thanks, Steve
