Due to steps and a narrow door said bike would have to live outside. Is it worth trying to get planning for a bike box, or is it worth chancing it? (i.e. are any of you willing to admit to successfully getting away without planning?) Should I just get a bike loop installed in the paved bit of the garden and store it with motorbike lock and cover? </p>
