    Are you sure that the parking portion wouldn’t be part of the permitting process? I’d be hard pressed to expect that you could pour such a large slab of concrete without needing a permit in the first place, but where I am in the US I got hassled over not pulling a permit for an 8x8 shed.

      Over here you can pretty much build anything in your backyard (HOA does not exist, thank god for that) within 2m of your fences as long as it’s no taller than 2.5m high. If you wanna build higher, you can go up to 4m but you need to increase the distance from the fence.

      There also needs to be “prior art” (i.e. other people in the area have built similar extensions or outhouses)
