How wide is a garage?

Say, like the one Weird Uncle Niggle recently built for his
machine tools?

I've measured up my coal-cellar/garden-shed in an effort to start
thinking of replacing them with a workshop/motorcycle shed. They share a
common front, towards the back of my land, with the coal-cellar's external
dimensions being 1260 mm deep x 1130 wide; the shed is 2360x2070.

The notch for'ard of the coal cellar accommodates some space
around the front door and the gate to the back yard is alongside.

I then have 8830 mm space to where my garden abuts onto a block
of council lock-ups; the lawn continues down the side of the lockups.
So if I were to continue the profile back to that boundary I could have
an ~1260x1130 tool shed with external access (for mowers, etc), an office
~2360x2070, and a w/s bike shed 3200x8800 mm. I can't widen the shed
bit for some way past the current coal shed as there's a sewer/grease-trap
access hatch in line with the gate.

Big enough, d'you think? I think I'll need planning permission,
especially if I take it right to the boundary with the lockups.
The alternative would be to convince the council to sell me the lockups
as my land surrounds them on two sides; I have doubts that'd fly.

"Move to a less pikey area"

IIRCC you've had both your bikes nobbled there, so If you put fancy
sheds and machine tools/Equipment in there, won't you become even more
of a target for the local scrotes ?

Just a thought, like ...
