How To Earn A Little Extra With No Effort

New government guidance will allow homeowners to rent out their drives for a single car without making a planning application.

It comes after some town halls demanded that households apply for "change of use" planning permission costing £385, with the threat of a £20,000 fine if they did not.

Householders could earn more than £200 each month renting out their parking space, according to moneysavingexpert.com.

Several internet companies have been set up to help households rent out their spare or unused dedicated off-street parking space near town centres, train stations and sports grounds.

Householders wishing to change their garden into a car park or for other commercial uses would still require planning permission.

It emerged this week that some councils were racking up huge surpluses from their parking-charge activities, according to figures from the RAC Foundation .

In 2011/12, English councils had a total current account surplus of £565m from their on-street and off-street parking operations.

This is a £54m increase on the £511m surplus in 2010/11, said the foundation.

No but you could if your customer doesn't turn up and move off your drive on time
