It's a scale plan (although the warning on it does say its a photocopy and so "liable to distortion in scale"), measure it.

old plan that one, what is on the land at the moment, are there other garages built?

might be best to have a word with the council.

This might help, although its seems yours is a stand alone plot rather than a outbuilding/garage so you would you'll need planning permission.

The Medtric Handbook for Architects will give you required sizes for garages, I will dig it out when I get home.

Required sizes are at least 20ft x 30ft ;)

20ft x 30ft does not compute fastdruid, needs to be metric :p

[fastdruid]

6m x 9m[1] :)

For some strange reason though planners don't seem to have this as the required standard.
