Do you need planning permission ?

Types of Finish on the Garage
Most concrete garages have a aggregate finish, brick effect finish, or rockstone finish.
Brick Garages or a Concrete Garage ?
The time and costs involved in constructing a traditional built brick garage are far in excess of a prefab concrete garage. Why spend all that time and money when you can have the best of both worlds, and have your pre-cast concrete garage finished in brick effect externally.
