Residents worried that the plans to convert the garage will be dangerous for road users and will contribute to the parking congestion CONTROVERSIAL plans to turn a residential garage into a holiday let in a village near Cirencester have sparked protests by residents. The plans to convert the double garage have raised concerns that the plan will be dangerous for road users and will contribute to already severe parking congestion in the village’s Main Street. Residents are furious that the application would go against the conditions set by the original planning permission, as it was approved on the condition that it would remain as a residential garage to help alleviate congestion.
